Our
Food Pantry is located at the Wallingford/Meriden
office at 144 South Main St. in Wallingford.
Wallingford residents who need this assistance should register by
presenting a photo ID, as well as proof of residency in
Wallingford (such as a current utility bill showing
their name and address.) Qualified clients are then
eligible to receive bags of non-perishable food every 30
days.
Last
year, 331 Wallingford families were served a total of
over 6,000 bags of food. Nearly all of the food
distributed from here comes from donations.
The
Food Pantry is open Monday through Friday from 11:00
a.m. to 4:00 p.m. For more information, contact the
Community Services Coordinator @ 203-265-6721.

The
Medical Transportation program based at the
Wallingford/Meriden office is limited to residents of
Meriden
and Wallingford who have no other means of
transportation to get to their medical appointments
outside of their home town. Dental or therapy
appointments are not eligible. Riders must be able to
get in and out of a car by themselves, and wear a seat
belt. All of the vehicles used are Red Cross insured and
identifiable.
Last
year, our group of over thirty volunteer drivers drove
174 individuals for a total of 1,085 trips. There is no
fee for this service. However, any and all donations are
welcomed. For more information, contact the Community
Services Coordinator @ 203-265-6721. |
