WHAT IS FULL SHELVES?

Full Shelves is a groundbreaking program developed by EHC! in conjunction with local food pantries to support community-based pantries, kitchens, and home-bound older adult food distribution organizations.

Full Shelves’ primary function is to establish a buying group for community-based food pantries, soup kitchens and other nonprofits throughout Connecticut. This program will provide contracted pricing for the approximately 30 percent of food needs not covered by the existing Food Bank or donation process. Collectivizing pantries’ retail purchases will leverage their buying power to secure pricing contracts with regional food wholesalers. As a result, pantries will save on purchased goods, develop more efficient buying practices, and be introduced to and establish best practices for ordering, storing, and distributing products.
