History[]

Born from the concept of matching excess food supplies to individuals with limited resources, Connecticut Food Bank began distributing food in 1982 out of a 2,000 square foot warehouse in New Haven, supplying 400,000 pounds to 70 programs. Today, through distribution centers in Wallingford and Bridgeport, and an affiliated distribution center in New London, Connecticut Food Bank provides 27 million pounds of nutritious food annually to people in need.
