Compassion Corps has developed Mobilization & Awareness events to help educate and mobilize individuals, organizations and businesses around the issue of food security. Our goal is to encourage people, like you, to host a community wide food drive to keep Fairhaven Food Pantry full throughout the year.
Since we are governed by a philosophy of responding to the need at the time of need - the avbailability of quality, staple food products is extrememly important. We are inviting you and your organization to be a part of this opportunity to serve through the ministry of FAIRHAVEN FOOD PANTRY.
You can get started today...just call 203-747-6633 to set up a Mobilization & Awareness event in your neighborhood, church or organization. We supply the literature, collection boxes, and invitations for you to hand out. A one hour event hosted by you and facilitated by FFP will impart life-changing information about the issue of hunger and food insecurity right here in the United States.
In addition, you and your friends can give a financial gift of $15 online to help us deliver high-quality staple food products to families in need. You can also send your tax-deductable donation to:
