“We have been touched by the kindness of our individual donors. One donor sends us a check for $25 whenever she can. Over the course of this past year, her total donation amounted to $300!”
 

OUR COMMUNITY

We are grateful for the generosity of the individuals and organizations that have donated funds and food. We certainly could not operate as economically without the generosity of the Archdiocese of Hartford and St. Martin of Tours (St Mary’s Church) for the use of the Pantry space. Most of all, though, our mission is fulfilled because of the tireless efforts of the many volunteers who give hours of their time.

Volunteers at the Pantry work every Friday morning to unpack boxes and stock shelves for the weekend distribution. Clients can come to the Pantry on Friday afternoon or Saturday morning to pick up food. We do our best to ensure that each person’s dignity is honored and that all are treated fairly.

Volunteers also help by picking up food from area food drives and farms, unloading holiday turkeys, doing repairs to the building, meeting the Connecticut Food Bank delivery and unloading and storing the delivered boxes of food. We have a more detailed article about our volunteer program in our newsletter.
