Using the find food now feature on the food banks website will tell you any near by pantries and food distributions. https://www.centraltexasfoodbank.org/food-assistance/get-food-now
I would call the Central Texas Food bank. They may have connections in your friend's area. Have your friend go to a nearby church or Google food pantries in Hartford.
