“Refill the Pantry” Drive at Villa Ave, Fairfield Stop & Shop

A local church collaboration will hold a “Refill the Pantry” drive on Saturday, September 21, 9am-5pm at the Stop & Shop on Villa Avenue in Fairfield. Refill the Pantry is a collaborative project sponsored by four churches: Our Saviour’s Lutheran (Fairfield), First Presbyterian (Fairfield), Grace Lutheran (Stratford) and Good Shepherd Lutheran (Monroe). Since the churches began collaborating on food pantry collections in October 2022, they have gathered over 26,000 pounds of food and $18,800 in cash and gift card donations. In 2024, Refill the Pantry will conduct 11 collections in support of six area food pantries.
