Food Pantry

Picture
The FISH Food Pantry provides supplemental food to those  individuals and families who qualify using guidelines established by the  Emergency Food Assistance Program. The FISH Food Pantry has always depended on and benefited from the generosity of donors in the community, from food drives of  school children and groups, organizations, churches, firemen, police  officers, families and Post Office workers. Area farms and farmers and  grocery store owners/managers also deliver dairy, meat and vegetable  produce and foodstuffs,  and when shelves are empty, food items are  purchased at the Connecticut Food Bank and at local groceries.

Food distributed in 2016 - 2017 equaled an estimated 108,439 meals, including Thanksgiving and Christmas Holiday programs. 

There were 522 families, representing 1774 individuals, who depended on the FISH  Food Pantry for their food needs.
The pantry is open four days a week.

Monday:  10 am - 3 pm
Tuesday:  10 am - 3 pm
