About HBC Food Pantry
For many of us, hunger is just a brief moment of discomfort, while for others it is an extended state of distress.
In 1972, the Horace Bushnell Children's Food Pantry was established with the mission of providing food to needy children. Now it has expanded to include senior citizens, disabled and homeless.
Presently the Children's Food Pantry can provide food for about 150 needy adults and 350 needy children a week.
The amount of needy families in Hartford is continuing to increase. The Food Pantry needs more supporters than ever in order to address the current needs in the Greater Hartford area. With the proper funding and support, the Horace Bushnell Children's Food Pantry can provide food for 300 to 400 needy adults and 700 to 800 children a week.
