Information

The Pantry is located at 148 North Green St, behind the Methodist Church. Hours are Monday and Thursday 10:00 a.m. - 1:00 p.m. and Saturday from 10:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. Closed most holidays. The Food Bank is strictly volunteer and is always happy to welcome new people to help pick-up, pack, distribute and shelve food or van drivers and computer savvy volunteers too.

The pantry has a friendly, hardworking staff of 80 volunteers who work approximately 2 hours per month. They pack, shelve and distribute food as well as register clients. New volunteers are welcome! Stop by the pantry and ask for a tour of the facility. Fill out a volunteer application and we will put you on our team schedule.

The need for food has increased dramatically in the past several years. This pantry supplies over 700 adults and children each month with fresh produce, meat, eggs, milk, snacks, bakery goods, toiletry items, and canned food.

Monetary donations as well as canned goods, toiletries, grocery cards and fresh produce are appreciated. Please bring them to the pantry during operating hours. We are grateful to Acme, Walmart LEHT, Walmart Manahawkin, and WAWA for their continued support.
