Welcome to the Enfield Food Shelf
From its humble beginning, hundreds of volunteers have contributed to the Enfield Food Shelf, Inc.'s effort to provide food to the families in need. The Enfield Food Shelf is a nonprofit volunteer organization affiliated with the Enfield Conference of Christian Churches and dedicated to assuring that no Enfield resident goes hungry because of a lack of resources. The Food Shelf’s priority is to serve Enfield families and individuals needing food.
