BRING REUSABLE BAGS: HELP US HELP YOU!
When you bring your reusable bags to the Food Shelf, it’s a win-win! It helps us pack your groceries with ease and allows us to focus our resources on what matters most—providing food for our community. Together, we can reduce waste and ensure every dollar goes further to support families in need. Thank you for partnering with us!
FOOD SHELF CLOSURE POLICY DUE TO WINTER WEATHER

DONATIONS
Donations can be dropped off on Wednesdays between 11:00 AM and 6:00 PM. If possible, we encourage drop-offs between 11:00 AM and noon, as this is when our volunteers are preparing for the day before opening.
The Colchester Community Food Shelf is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization that operates entirely through the generosity of our community. We receive no federal, state, or local funding and rely solely on donations to sustain our work. Financial contributions are especially appreciated, as they help us cover essential costs like food and utilities.
If you’re thinking about organizing a food drive, we invite you to visit the Donate page on our website. There, you’ll also find our Client Shopping List, highlighting the items most needed. Contributions from this list have a direct and immediate impact on the families we serve.
