Or, if your family could use a little extra help, please contact the Food Pantry to receive a Christmas dinner with all of the trimmings.
How to Pay it Forward this Holiday Season:
If you or your business would like to help with our seasonal fund drive or our holiday dinners, here are two ways to get involved: send a check made out to the Branford Food Pantry to 30 Harrison Ave., Branford, CT 06405; or drop off non-perishable holiday fixings or other foods, such as cereal, peanut butter, jams or jellies, pudding, canned tuna, soup or stew to our site at 30 Harrison Avenue. If you have a lot to donate call Jay Webb at 203-215-3533 to make special arrangements. The Food Pantry accepts turkeys until December 18, from 8:30 a.m. to 11:00 a.m. on Tuesdays and Fridays. Please help!
How to Get a Holiday Basket:
If you or a friend or family member are a Branford resident and would like to obtain a basket for the holidays, call the Branford Food Pantry at 203-315-8251 before December 14 for Christmas (delivered on December 20). Note that you must be home to accept the delivery.
