Our next pantry will be held on August 27 at 9 a.m. at the Woodbury Junior-Senior High School.

We continue to partner with HelloFresh to bring a Community Fresh Market in addition to the wonderful offerings already available. We will have proteins along with fresh fruits and veggies to go along with our regular distribution from Food Bank of South Jersey.

We are always looking for volunteers. If you are able to volunteer, please email [email protected].
