Here for Our Connectivity Neighbors
When food feels out of reach, WHEAT is here to help. We serve individuals and families across Connecticut who need support, whether it’s for a short time or something more ongoing.
Through our partnership with CT Foodshare and participation in The Emergency Food Assistance Program (TEFAP), we follow income guidelines based on household size. Simply put, if you’re having a hard time affording enough food, we’re here for you.
We’ve made the process as easy as possible, no ID or documentation required, just a place where you can feel comfortable, respected, and supported.
