Peret Food Pantry

​The Peret Food Pantry is a cornerstone of The Storehouse Project, providing free, nutritious food to individuals and families across New Haven and Fairfield Counties. Based in Milford, the pantry serves a diverse community, meeting people where they are with dignity, consistency, and care while actively addressing the growing reality of food insecurity in our region.

​

Each week, nearly 5,000 pounds of food are distributed through a welcoming, client-centered experience designed to support both immediate needs and long-term stability. Beyond food access, the pantry offers additional resources including nutrition education, health screenings, seasonal food distributions, and back-to-school support—ensuring that families are not only fed, but strengthened.

​

At its core, the Peret Food Pantry exists to provide more than a meal. It creates a space where individuals and families can find support, connection, and a pathway forward.
