NVSK is a free meal delivery service in the Borough of Naugatuck. Our only requirement is that you live in Naugatuck.
Free Meal Delivery Service is provided to Naugatuck residents Monday, Wednesday and Friday mornings.
NVSK manages two Free Pantry Boxes in town that are available 24/7 to those in need. One near the firehouse on Old Firehouse Road and the other across from Riddles Pub on North Main St.
Special thanks to the Elks Lodge No. 967 for donating the use of their kitchen.
NVSK thrives because of our dedicated volunteers. Due to our small size and limited space, we are currently at volunteer capacity. However, we would be happy to add you to our volunteer list for future opportunities in food prep, packaging, delivery, or administrative tasks. We welcome students, troop members, and anyone seeking community service hours.
