About Us
The Storehouse Project, Inc. is a faith-based nonprofit dedicated to meeting basic human needs with kindness and without judgment. Founded in 2000 as a small food pantry, we now serve thousands through food distribution, emergency aid, and other vital support.
Our Mission
The Storehouse Project exists to share Christ-centered love with individuals experiencing economic challenges by providing practical services, resources and support.
Join the Work
Give with Confidence
Your generosity allows our programs to directly reach individuals and families, providing real support and lasting impact
Serve with Joy
Step in, show up, and be part of something meaningful that changes lives. Join us in creating positive change in our community.
Receive with Dignity
We create an environment where individuals and families are treated with honor, compassion, and genuine care.
The Great Give 2026 has officially come to a close, and thanks to the generosity of our community,
The Storehouse Project raised $2,370 to support individuals and families across our region.
Your support helps make it possible for us to continue providing groceries, hot meals, clothing assistance, community outreach, and people-first care to neighbors facing difficult seasons.
What begins as practical support often becomes something deeper:
connection, dignity, encouragement, and hope.
Thank you to every person who donated, shared our mission, volunteered, or helped spread the word throughout this campaign. Your support strengthens the work happening every week behind the scenes and on the ground.
We are grateful to continue serving our community together.

“Throughout the years, we’re very grateful for the staff praying with us and laughing with us. Everything is appreciated. God bless you.”
“I have a family of seven. Every little bit counts. I especially like the Thanksgiving basket, and the choice between chicken and turkey, because not everyone eats turkey. I really appreciate it!”
“A big impact on my life! They give you nice healthy food, the people are good, the church is good… that is why I come here.”
Upcoming Events
One Ride. One Mission. Countless Lives Impacted.
Hosted by In Courage LLC in support of The Storehouse Project
This September, Leida Centeno, founder of In Courage LLC, is taking on a personal challenge with a greater purpose.
On September 5, she will ride 16 miles along the Farmington Canal Heritage Trail from New Haven to Cheshire to raise awareness and financial support for The Storehouse Project. More than a bike ride, Pedaling for Purpose is an invitation for our community to come together in support of individuals and families facing food insecurity and other difficult seasons of life.
Every mile represents hope. Every donation provides practical support. Every act of encouragement reminds someone they are not alone.
Throughout August, we'll share the story behind the ride, introduce those supporting this journey, and highlight how your support makes a lasting impact.
Community members are invited to:
-
Sponsor a mile
-
Make a donation
-
Share the campaign
-
Cheer the riders along the trail
-
Help us reach our $5,000 fundraising goal
Together, every mile creates lasting impact.
Route: Farmington Canal Heritage Trail (New Haven to Cheshire) Distance: 16 Miles
