What we do
We are a small team with big hearts. We do what we can to support our neighbors.
Food Pantry
Did you know we are a choice pantry? Set up like small grocery stores, our clients decide what is best for their families and “shop” accordingly. No appointments are necessary. The pantry is open for in-person shopping three mornings per week.
Soup Kitchen
Serving since 1982, we are Bristol’s oldest soup kitchen. Staffed by dedicated volunteers, hot dinners are prepared and served three nights per week.
Holiday Meals
Meal kits or prepared meals are distributed to celebrate Thanksgiving, Christmas, & Easter.
Packs 'n Snacks
In partnership with Gloria Dei Lutheran church, backpacks stocked with school supplies & favorite foods are offered to children at the start of the academic year.
Community Service Site
For our neighbors who are mandated to complete community service, we provide supervised projects assisting our Soup Kitchen or Food Pantry.
Clothing Bank
We are no longer offer second-hand clothing at our Judd St. facility. Please do not drop off clothing donations at this location. We do, however, accept clothing donations at our St. Pauly Shed, located at 1125 Stafford Ave. Bristol, CT.
