The City Mission

A stocked fridge and freezer can mean so much more than food—it can bring peace of mind, relief, and the comfort of knowing a meal is within reach.

Each week, we deliver fresh, colorful produce and nourishing frozen meats to individuals and families facing food insecurity. From vibrant fruits and vegetables to protein-rich staples, every delivery is made with care and a commitment to helping our neighbors thrive.

If you feel led to support their mission, look them up 👀! We love what they do and are so glad we can support moms in our community!

💸 Did you know $4.27 is the average cost of a single meal in Connecticut? That adds up fast, almost $13 per person for three meals a day!

Every time food is delivered into our city through City Mission, families can save money, stretch their budgets, and have more to spend on other essentials like rent, utilities, or school supplies. 🏡🍎

It’s not just about filling plates — it’s about stretching meals, strengthening families!

We’re proud to partner with Hope Pregnancy Center to serve moms in our community 💛

Pictured here are Darlene Passapera, Executive Director of Hope Pregnancy Center, and James White, Executive Director of City Mission, holding boxes of food prepared for two of Hope’s clients.

We all know how vital proper nutrition is for pregnant and postpartum moms. That’s why we’re honored to support their journey with well-rounded, nutritious—and most importantly—FREE food.

Together, we’re making sure moms and families have the support they need, when they need it most. 💕

Today marks our first official day delivering boxes of fresh food straight to the doors of those who are homebound.

This initiative is all about making sure our neighbors who need it most have access to healthy, nourishing options without having to leave their homes.

We’re proud to take this step toward building a stronger, more caring community—one delivery at a time. 💚

Did you know 33% of Waterbury is considered a food desert? 🌆

That means many families don’t have easy access to fresh, healthy food like fruits, vegetables, and groceries. Sometimes the nearest full grocery store is miles away.

Through partnerships with local grocery stores, City Mission brings food directly into neighborhoods where it’s needed most 🍎 making sure everyone has access to good food, no matter where they live.

Turning deserts into dishes!

Today we’re celebrating our incredible nonprofit team 💙

These are the people who go above and beyond—not for recognition, but because they truly care about the communities we serve. From early mornings to late nights, every effort counts, and every impact matters.

We’re grateful for each person and the partnerships that make City Mission what it is.
