The food pantry is an all-volunteer organization, established in 1987, through a coalition of churches in New London.  While the coalition dissolved after a couple years, the organization continued to grow, serving the residents of the greater New London / Southeastern CT area through offering a selection of groceries to those who cannot afford to meet their nutritional needs. Food is received from Foodshare CT, the Gemma Moran United Way/Labor Food Center, Midwest Food Bank, local farms, individuals and organizations. Food is also purchased with donated funds.

 

To provide a more dignified Client Choice small-market experience to our guests, we moved to the VFW in January of 2024. This new location is in a food desert area of New London and provides much easier access for our guests.
