- Description: New Milford Food Bank - A program of New Milford Social Services for local families and individuals who are in need of food. The Food Bank offers income eligible residents one bag of non-perishable food weekly. Donated bakery items, seasonal fresh produce from local farms, and meals from The Community Culinary School of Northwestern CT are also made available to participants. Participants are counseled by a social worker before registering. Referrals are made to other services that provide on-going assistance, such as Connecticut’s Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP–formerly Food Stamps), local food co-ops, and the Loaves and Fishes Hospitality House (soup kitchen). The program operates solely on donations of funds and food. 100% of gifts go towards meeting client needs. Monetary donations help provide emergency vouchers to enable clients to purchase fresh food and personal care items at our local grocery stores.
