The mission of Connecticut Food Bank is to provide nutritious food to people in need. We strive to do this by supplying food products and resources to our member agencies, and promoting public awareness about the problem of hunger.
We provide food and resources to more than 650 community-based food programs, such as soup kitchens, food pantries, shelters and low-income adult and child day programs in six of the state’s eight counties: Fairfield, Litchfield, Middlesex, New Haven, New London and Windham.
Connecticut Food Bank is the largest centralized source of emergency food in Connecticut and distributes an average of 34 tons of food every business day through three warehouses in East Haven, Fairfield and Waterbury, and affiliated distribution centers in New London and Stamford.
