Windsor Food and Fuel Bank Inc.
Let no person go hungry, be cold, or go without basic necessities.
The Windsor Food Bank is open four days a week and provides supplemental food assistance to Windsor residents in need. Located at L.P. Wilson Community Center (599 Matianuck Avenue, Windsor, it is staffed by one Town of Windsor Social Services Staff member, coordinated by Windsor Social Services, and many wonderful volunteers. Funds for the food bank are made available through various fund raising efforts by the Windsor Food and Fuel Bank. Much of the food is purchased from Connecticut Foodshare, or is donated via food drives organized by the Windsor Food and Fuel Bank and the Windsor Community. To assist residents affected by the ongoing federal government shutdown, Windsor Social Services has created a resource page at windsorct.gov/930 that will provide the latest updates on local programs that remain open, benefit availability, local and statewide food programs, and ways for residents to access assistance. It also will list ways that people can help by donating food in person or via Amazon.com or contributing funds. That page will be updated regularly as new information becomes available. The Windsor Food & Fuel Bank is made possible through community-based food drives and donations from Windsor residents, businesses, schools, civic organizations, religious institutions and many more. With monetary donations, we are able to obtain food in bulk from Connecticut Foodshare at a greatly reduced price. The Food Bank is stocked with dry and canned goods as well as fresh fruits, vegetables and frozen meat. To qualify to use the Food Bank services, you must be a Windsor resident and meet certain financial eligibility guidelines. Please visit the Social Services website to view the application. Applications must be submitted in person, at the Food & Fuel Bank, or at the Social Services Department. Food Bank Hours are: Mondays & Tuesdays - 9:00 AM to 11:00 AM Wednesdays & Thursdays - 1:00 PM to 3:00 PM 4th Thursday of every month - 5:00 PM to 6:30PM |
