Donations can be dropped off in the church’s 24-hour bin located just outside the parking lot door of the church building.
Holy Spirit also appreciates financial support, which enables it to purchase low inventory items and be able to provide gift cards (when possible) to shoppers. The Food Pantry is a ministry of the Episcopal Church of the Holy Spirit and your financial donation is tax deductible.
The Food Pantry is open from 9 to 11 a.m. on the fourth Saturday of every month; it will be open next on Saturday, February 24. Anyone in need is welcome. If you need assistance in an emergency, before this date, please contact the church office at [email protected] or leave a voicemail at (973) 239-2850 to make arrangements. The church is very sensitive to people’s privacy and will do whatever it can to ensure anonymity of recipients.
