Food Assistance
The Salvation Army provides programs to address hunger throughout Connecticut and Rhode Island. Intake and assessment for food-related programs will also provide referrals to other social services within The Salvation Army and throughout Connecticut and Rhode Island. The Salvation Army also provides hot meals year-round through various locations for those in need.
Additionally, The Salvation Army also offers numerous food pantries to provide groceries for families and individuals in need. Food is free, but some locations require appointments, while others are on a walk-in first come first serve basis, such as those operating units that offer bread programs.
Hot Meal Programs and Food Pantries
No one should ever go a day without a meal or feel ashamed about asking for help. That’s why many of our locations provide hot meals and free groceries year-round to anyone who needs them. For home-bound seniors, some areas even offer grocery delivery services. Contact the location near you to learn when meals are offered or which food shelf serves your area. You may need an appointment for groceries, depending on the location.
Breaking the Cycle of Poverty
The Salvation Army’s Pathway of Hope initiative marks a pivotal shift to focusing on the core causes of poverty rather than treating the symptoms. Lack of job opportunities, unstable housing, and an underserved educational environment can all be major challenges for someone looking to lead a self-sustainable life. With our help, people living in poverty can break the cycle of crisis and vulnerability and lead families down a path toward increased stability for years to come. It’s a pathway of hope for current and future generations.
