About Us
Our Team
The Purple Pantry Boxes team is comprised of family, friends, and community members.
Our Director and Founder Susan Brown is joined by our Chief Financial Officer Aaron Brown Ortiz, and Media Executive Tyler Brown-Ortiz. Our pantry box builders are Chris Grejtak and Walt Faulckner. Larry Woodcock serves as our deployment specialist. The signs on our boxes are designed by Denise Lukienchuk.
Our History
The need for food is ever present. With that need in mind, I decided to create pop up food pantries in my city, Milford, CT. In two months we have grown from one to nine pantry boxes throughout the community.

Our Mission
Our motto is; take what you need and donate if you can.
We want people to have easy access to staple food items while also engaging members of the community to donate.
