In September 2025, Westport Food Pantry was given the opportunity to distribute Westport MVP 2.0 Weather Emergency Preparedness Kits to our clients. More information about these kits and the project can be found on the Westport MVP 2.0 facebook page https://www.facebook.com/groups/999769681620005/ or on their website https://srpedd.org/environment/climate-resilience-planning/municipal-vulnerability-preparedness-mvp-planning/westport-mvp-plan-2-0/

The kits included an emergency radio, an emergency radio, an emergency blanket, a fire and waterproof document bag, a basic first aid kit, a USB fan, an instant hot pack and instant cold pack, a small multi tool and a information full booklet and a weather resilience checklist which can be seen below. We encourage all families to expand on the items provided and/or to create weather emergency resilient kits of their own for their families. Thank you Westport MVP 2.0 creating these helpful kits and taking on this important project!
