At Pappas Family Food Pantry in Ansonia, CT, we believe in empowering individuals and families by offering personalized food assistance in a welcoming environment. Our pantry operates as a 'food pantry of choice,' allowing our shoppers to select the items that best suit their needs, preferences, and cultural backgrounds. With a focus on providing nutritious options, we offer a variety of fresh produce, breads, dairy, and meats, with our selections changing regularly based on available donations. While our Meriden shoppers are required to visit a Meriden food pantry first, we encourage all other visitors to access our services weekly. To ensure a smooth experience, we ask clients to bring their own bags for groceries, and we have adapted our operations to a drive-thru model during the COVID-19 pandemic for the safety of our community. At Pappas Family Food Pantry, each visit is approached with care and respect, reaffirming our commitment to supporting the food security of those we serve.
