Community Involvement

Feel free to stop by any of the listed box locations. All physical donations must be non-perishable and shelf stable. Please be sure that all items are completely sealed. Also, check expiration dates before donating. 

If you would like to get involved even further, consider hosting a donation event. At your next family, social, or community gathering, invite others to bring non perishable food items. We can provide signage as well as donation pick up. 

We have had several Milford and West Haven locations host donation boxes and month long food drives. 

We also work with many high school seniors who are required to complete service/volunteer hours, 

Notre Dame in West Haven will soon be having students fill a pantry box 1 day a week.

Donate directly to our Venmo account @purplepantryboxes.

We also love gift cards! Contact us if this is your preferred donation method.

Don’t want to go out and find a box? Order items and have them sent to our headquarters. Contact us if this is your preferred donation method. 

Join our growing network of volunteers. You can help us staff food drives, stock shelves, and so much more. Reach out to begin your volunteer experience. 

Do you represent a local business or school? Do you know someone who does? If yes, we would love to hear from you about using that location to host a donation box. This can be for a week, month, or much longer!
