FREE FOOD
OUR WORK WITH FOOD
We call it STOREHOUSE: Free food for families and individuals experiencing difficulty keeping food in their pantries or securing daily meals. We serve everyone, regardless of age, gender, religion, ethnicity, or socio-economic group. No strings attached!
WHAT WE’RE DOING
Weekly distribution of free groceries around Greater Waterbury to individuals and families (with children) in need.
Monthly outreach events distribute free pantry bags to local households, especially those with senior citizens experiencing adverse health ailments, disabilities, and financial hardship.
WHY WE DO IT…
…Because more food on the shelves at home means more money to spend on bills and other costs of living, increasing the quality of life for local residents in our community.
…Because God loves everyone and cares about their needs.
…Because No one should be hungry or struggle with food instability.
…Because Good food shouldn’t be wasted when we can get it to the people who need it most.
HOW WE’RE DOING…
Progress means impact. We track every pound of food received and distribute throughout the Greater Waterbury Area so that we can keep our partners and donors up-to-date on how they’re making a difference in the lives of those we serve.
