Food costs are higher than ever. Visiting a food pantry is a smart way to stretch your budget and free up money for bills, rent, or gas. Pantries stock fresh produce, meat, and dairy—the same groceries you'd buy anyway, at no cost to you. In the words of a neighbor who visited for the first time: "I'm so glad I went. The staff could not have been nicer and more welcoming and I left with amazing quality food."
If you are experiencing food insecurity and would like assistance navigating our local food resources, please reach out to Fairfield's Department of Human and Social Services at (203) 256-3170.SNAP (Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program) provides eligible individual and families with monthly benefits to purchase groceries at participating retailers.
