What a difference a day makes! After yesterday's storms, today is absolutely beautiful— it's the perfect day to help make a difference and the Jason D. Lewis Memorial Brookfield VFW Auxiliary Post 10201 Jason D. Lewis Brookfield Memorial VFW Post 10201 are once again joining forces to support the Brookfield community and our pantry.
While you're out enjoying this gorgeous day, please stop by 202 Candlewood Lake Road with a few nonperishable food items. Every donation—big or small—helps provide food for local families who need a helping hand.
Together, we can fill our pantry shelves and make a real difference for our neighbors. Thank you for your support!

We are incredibly grateful for the many students and young people who have reached out asking to volunteer at the Brookfield Food Pantry. Your willingness to give back to the community is truly inspiring, and we sincerely appreciate every inquiry.
At this time, our volunteer schedule is full, and unfortunately we are not able to accommodate additional youth volunteers.
If you're looking for a meaningful way to help, we encourage you to contact one of these wonderful organizations:

Camella's Food Pantry for Children in New Milford

Dorothy Day in Danbury

Thank you again for your compassion and your desire to make a difference. It's wonderful to see so many young people committed to helping others, and we hope you'll find a volunteer opportunity that is a great fit for you.
