DESK serves people experiencing homelessness or living in poverty by providing food assistance and services to promote health, community, and equity. We serve nightly dinner (5:00 pm) and offer weekly pantry services (Wed. 1:30-3:00 pm) at 311 Temple Street, and our Drop-in & Resource Center at 266 State Street is open Sunday-Friday, 1:30-4:30 pm.

Being part of the New Haven community means you get to know your neighbors really well. Liberty Bank Foundation shows that in action through our partnership, where they've created essential warming kits, donated cake mix to help celebrate our guests, and most recently a $5,000 grant for support for our programs for unhoused individuals and households struggling with food insecurity. We're grateful for the generous gift presented by Damaris Garcia, VP & Manager of the New Haven Branch. With over one in three of our neighbors facing food insecurity, kindness from our neighbors at Liberty Bank Foundation makes our New Haven community stronger.
