About Us
The mission of Whalers Helping Whalers is to help New London families in need. Since our inception, we have given out over 1,000,000 pounds of bulk food and have cooked and distributed over 45,000 meals. Currently, we have our pantry open on Saturdays from 11am to 1pm and by appointment and is located at the New London Lodge of Elks BPOE 360.
Our pantry allows those in need to pick the foods they want and not simply pick up random box which may or may not needed by an individual or family. As the fall and winter approach, we will be expanding our offering outside of the food. We will be giving out new winter jackets, hats, and gloves to at least 600 individuals. Our programs also includes distribution of Thanksgiving meals, Christmas holiday meal baskets so families can cook at home, and fully prepared meals for those who are unable to prepare on their own. For the last several years, we have partnered with the New London Police Department and New London Fire Department to distribute toys to families and Chef Tomm goes out dressed as Santa to some of the homes and delivers gifts. Whalers helping Whalers in thankful to our hosts, the New London Lodge of Elks BPOE where we have had a home since the creation of WhW.
Although all are thrilled to see Santa, it is the children and their smiles that truly embody what Whalers Helping Whalers is all about. We are simply a community helping each other. We are Whalers.
