Pappas Family Food Pantry, located in Oxford, CT, is dedicated to providing compassionate food assistance through a welcoming and user-friendly environment. Our innovative 'food pantry of choice' model empowers shoppers to select the items that best meet their needs, preferences, and cultural tastes, ensuring a more personalized experience. We offer a variety of nutritious options including fresh produce, dairy products, breads, and protein sources like meat and fish, with selections changing daily based on available donations. We invite Oxford residents and beyond to access our pantry weekly, while those in Meriden must first visit a designated Meriden food pantry before joining us, bringing a letter confirming their visit. In response to the ongoing challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic, we operate a drive-thru model to ensure safety and accessibility for all. Shoppers are encouraged to bring their own bags and follow the clearly posted directions to make the experience seamless and supportive.
