Help Two Sisters Rebuild Their Beloved Community Business — Marianna’s Pantry

In the heart of Trumbull, two incredible sisters — Melissa and Marina — have poured their hearts into Marianna’s Pantry, a cozy bakery and deli that’s become a true community treasure.

Their small business has always been more than a place to grab a sandwich or pastry. It’s where neighbors connect, families gather, and everyone feels like part of the family. Whether it’s donating food to local fundraisers, supporting school events, or greeting customers with genuine kindness, Melissa and Marina have built their business on love, generosity, and community spirit.

Now, due to unforeseen circumstances, Melissa and Marina are faced with the difficult reality of having to relocate and rebuild the space they’ve worked so hard to make feel like home.

These sisters have shown up and been supportive & present in the community, now it’s our turn to show up for them.

We’re raising funds to help Melissa and Marina relocate, rebuild, and reopen Marianna’s Pantry in a new space, so they can continue doing what they do best: serving delicious food and spreading warmth throughout Trumbull.

Every donation — no matter the size — will go directly toward moving expenses, equipment, and the costs of setting up their new kitchen.

If you’ve ever been touched by their kindness, enjoyed their amazing food, or simply believe in supporting small local businesses, please consider contributing. Together, we can help them start their next chapter and keep their dream and their community spirit alive.

Thank you for your support, your generosity, and for believing in the power of community.
