Friends of Assisi Food Pantry Helping those in need of food in the Killingly area Friends of Assisi Food Pantry has been serving those in need in the Killingly area for over 30 years.

We rely on the kindness of others with generous donations of food and monetary gifts, along with eggs and produce from our local farmers. We are named after St. Francis of Assisi. This year will be our 31st year of serving Thanksgiving baskets to those in need. Our first year we helped 25 families. Last Thanksgiving it was closer to 378 baskets.

Many many years ago, Melanie Swantek and I met while our kids were at St. James School. And she started being a tremendous blessing to Friends Of Assisi Food Pantry.
Our kids are now in their 40s! Now every Thanksgiving, Melanie and Danielson Elks gather together to get lots of food for all the families in need and donate to Friends Of Assisi Food Pantry.
So just a reminder at the Stop & Shop today, the turkeys are on sale for $.49 a pound which is a pretty good price!! thank you to our community. Thank you to Mel and thank you to the Elks.

Thank you to our Elks and the good people in our community !

Resources for People Losing SNAP

Many people are losing SNAP due to time limit and work rules for ABAWDs (Able-bodied Adults Without Dependents). There are certain exemptions and options they can explore. The Connecticut Department of Social Services offers information and resources for individuals to explore ways to maintain their SNAP benefits.
