Our Daily Bread Food Pantry
Begun in 2005, this mission provides food and personal items once a week for any individual who is in need. Food is supplied by the Connecticut Food Bank and donations. Clients may be referred by Social Services or other agencies, but may also be self-referred; all are welcome. Our program is an equal opportunity provider.
The food pantry is open from 3:00 - 6:00 p.m. each Thursday. Volunteers are needed to unload food deliveries from the Connecticut Food Bank, assist with food distribution and collect donated items.
Periodically there are needed food products listed in the bulletin, newsletter or on the Mission board.
