The elimination of SNAP benefits, effective 1 November 2025, is impacting over 400,000 Connecticut residents alone. Families in need are being told to visit local food pantries and soup kitchens, but we are having difficulty keeping up during the already busy holiday season.
If you are able to help, we are in desperate need of the following items:
- Canned and dried fruits and vegetables
- Shelf-stable proteins (canned tuna/chicken, beans, peanut butter)
- Pasta, rice, cereal, oatmeal
- Fresh produce
- Fresh or frozen meats-chicken, beef, ground beef or poultry, ham, pork roast/chops
- Deli meats and cheeses for our Sunday sandwich lunches
- Soups and ready-to-heat meals like canned pasta meals
- Baby food and kid-friendly items for school lunches
- Diapers, wipes, shampoo, soap, toothpaste, deodorant and period supplies
Financial gifts are also deeply appreciated and allow us to fill gaps quickly.
Thank you for standing with us and for caring for your neighbors in this difficult moment and Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours.
