75 Hamilton Street Food Pantry
In April 2025, CSK began its support for operations of the food pantry at 75 Hamilton Street in partnership with IRIS (Integrated Refugee & Immigrant Services). This 5,000-square-foot warehouse has become a hub for food storage and distribution serving the Fair Haven and West River communities.
Every Wednesday, the pantry opens its doors to families in need, providing fresh produce, proteins, non-perishable goods, and other staples at no cost and with no preconditions. The operation is made possible through the combined efforts of CSK staff, IRIS warehouse personnel, and a dedicated team of volunteers.
2025 Impact

Average cost per meal: $0.30
Thanks to the collaboration between warehouse managers, we plan for expanded integration between our hot meal and food pantry operations in 2026. The addition of a walk-in refrigerator at 75 Hamilton Street will further increase our capacity to receive and store perishable food from our growing network of suppliers.
How You Can Help
The food pantry depends on donations of food, time, and financial support. Monetary donations allow us to purchase specific items that are always in demand, including fresh proteins, dairy, and hygiene products. Volunteers are essential to sorting, organizing, and distributing food each week.
