Emergency Aid Association

The EAA is a unique, private, non-profit 501(c)3 social service agency serving the residents of Suffield in times of need. We strive to improve the quality of life and develop the full potentials of our residents in need by maximizing all available public and private resources. We administer social services for the Town. For many years, the EAA and the Town of Suffield both provided social services to residents of Suffield. In 2003, upon the retirement of the Town Social Worker, the Town and the EAA signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) whereby, the EAA delivers social services to the residents of Suffield. The current MOU continues until 2017. Food Pantry: The EAA maintains a variety of food, personal care products and cleaning supplies for Suffield residents in need. Pet food is also available. In the summer months, fresh vegetables are available. Applicants are screened for eligibility and appointments are scheduled throughout the week.
