  • Description: For many clients at our food pantry, being able to shop at a grocery store without concern for money seems far-fetched. However, a recent re-model to our food pantry has helped families realize that dream. Our Community Pantry now utilizes the full choice shopping model. Each family who enters our pantry can grab a cart and walk through aisles, choosing which items fit their families’ needs best. Because poverty is not just about food, our pantry also has case management services to help these families toward further success by helping them gain to housing, medical care, and utility assistance through referrals. Like at our soup kitchen, student nurses also visit the pantry to provide free medical checks and advice.

Comment from Melissa Lewis: I would like to know if the food pantry is only for Hartford residents? I am in New Britain but am in need as I have a family of 5.
