Ecumenical Food Bank in Naugatuck, CT, operates as a temporary aid resource for residents of Naugatuck and Beacon Falls in need of assistance, serving nearly 60,000 meals to 420 families in 2009. The food bank, run by area churches of all denominations, does not employ paid staff and relies on referrals from clergy or local social service agencies for those seeking help. With a focus on sharing rather than giving, the organization welcomes donations of nonperishable foods like peanut butter, jelly, canned goods, and pasta, which can be dropped off at sponsor churches or during food bank hours. Volunteers interested in supporting the food bank can reach out to their local clergy for opportunities to contribute to the community's efforts in combating food insecurity.
