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.
