🌟 3 Ways to Help the Branford Food Pantry This May! šŸŒŸ

Support Local. Fight Hunger. Make a Difference.

May is full of fresh opportunities to give back—and the Branford Food Pantry is excited to be part of three impactful fundraising efforts this month! Whether you want to donate food, give online, or pick up a beautiful bouquet, there’s a way for everyone to support neighbors in need.

Here’s how you can get involved:


šŸ’» 1. The Great Give – May 7–8

The Great Give is a 36-hour online giving event that brings together donors and nonprofits from across Greater New Haven. It’s a powerful way to support local causes, and every dollar makes a difference in our fight against food insecurity.

How to help:

Your support allows us to provide groceries, meals, and dignity to those who need it most.


šŸ“¬ 2. Help Stamp Out Hunger – Saturday, May 10

For over 30 years, the Stamp Out Hunger Food Drive, organized by the National Association of Letter Carriers, has helped restock food pantries across the country. It’s the largest one-day food collection in the U.S., and your donations go directly to local organizations—like us!

How to take part:

  • Leave a bag of non-perishable food next to your mailbox on Saturday, May 10
  • Your letter carrier will pick it up and deliver it to the Branford Food Pantry

This simple act makes a huge impact. Let’s work together to make this the biggest collection yet! šŸ’Ŗā¤ļø


šŸ’ 3. Bloomin’ 4 Good – All May at Stop & Shop

Here’s a feel-good way to support the pantry and spread joy! We’re honored to be selected for Stop & Shop’s Bloomin’ 4 Good Program this May.

Here’s how it works:

  • Buy a specially marked $10.99 Bloomin’ 4 Good bouquet at the Stop & Shop located at 370 Hemingway Avenue, East Haven
  • $1 from each bouquet sold goes directly to the Branford Food Pantry

Brighten someone’s day—and help a neighbor in need at the same time. 🌸


šŸ’› Every Action Counts

These efforts may be different, but they all lead to the same goal: a stronger, more nourished Branford. Your support—whether it’s a bag of food, a donation, or a bouquet—helps us continue our mission to ensure no one in our community goes hungry.

Thank you for being a part of our Pantry family.
Let’s make this May one to remember.
