This Saturday, August 27, is the fourth Saturday of the month, which means that it will be a shopping day at the food pantry opened earlier this year by the Episcopal Church of the Holy Spirit.
The pantry is a place for those in need to stock up on non-perishable food items, toiletries and cleaning supplies. It is staffed by parish and community volunteers, and depends on the community for donations of supplies, which can be dropped off in a bin located just outside the parking lot door of the Church at 36 Gould Street. Holy Spirit is also accepting donations of funds to help it buy inventory or gift cards. The Food Pantry is a ministry of the Episcopal Church of the Holy Spirit and financial donations are tax deductible.
The pantry is open from 9 a.m. to noon, and the church says that anyone in need is welcome. People who need the pantry’s services can also contact the church office at [email protected] or call (973) 239-2850.
