The HVCC Food Pantry serves as a vital emergency food assistance resource for residents of Ellington, Vernon, and Tolland, Connecticut. We are committed to supporting families in need by providing free access to nutritious food, including fresh produce and bread, tailored to family size. Our pantry not only addresses immediate food needs but also includes a children's snack program for before- and after-school hours, workshops focused on enhancing the quality of life for low-income families, and referrals to energy assistance initiatives. Additionally, we offer essential items such as food, clothing, and household goods to help individuals affected by fire or domestic abuse rebuild their lives. For seniors in Vernon, we ensure they have access to necessary food supplies. Our services operate on a first-come, first-served basis, ensuring fairness based on available inventory. To find out if you qualify for our programs, we invite you to reach out to a case manager who can guide you through the intake process. Remember to bring your photo ID and bags for your groceries each time you visit. Together, we are here to ensure that no one in our community faces hunger alone.
