Pappas Family Food Pantry in West Haven, CT, is dedicated to providing essential food assistance to our community members in a welcoming and respectful environment. Our 'food pantry of choice' model allows individuals to select items that are most needed, culturally appropriate, and enjoyable for their households, ensuring that everyone receives the nourishment they deserve. With an ever-changing inventory, we offer fresh produce, breads, dairy products, meat, and fish, all thanks to generous donations. While we require individuals from Meriden to first access their local food pantry and obtain a referral letter, shoppers from other areas can visit us weekly for their groceries, and we kindly ask that you bring your own bags. In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, we have adapted our service with a streamlined drive-thru model for appointments, ensuring safety and efficiency. At Pappas Family Food Pantry, we are committed to easing the burden of hunger and fostering dignity among all who seek our help.
