Some of the foods we distribute
Pantry shelves are often low on food
Donate...
We always need and appreciate donations of food or money. The photo at left shows a few of the typical items given to our families. See the list of items on the Shopping List page. Or donate at this page.
Volunteer to help...
Perhaps you have time available to pitch in, either weekly or on an as-needed basis. We have packers and delivery people assigned to Tuesday and Thursday.
Seasonal needs...
Maybe you have time the Saturday after Thanksgiving, when we receive a large donation of food from the Faith Lutheran Church community in New Providence. Come down and help - 10:00 until 1:00 or so.
We sort the donated food by year and then re-pack it into crates or boxes. This helps assure that we use the older food first. The crates and boxes are then stored in our Pantry or in our spare room for future use. All this is done by our volunteers.
