Interfaith Food Pantry Fall Food Drive
Our neighbors in Morris County need your help!
FALL FOOD DRIVE: October 30 to November 20
Thousands of families rely on the Interfaith Food Pantry Network for food and to be able to celebrate Thanksgiving with a meal. Our congregation has always believed that November is a month of thanksgiving and sharing with others. So…as you give thanks, give food. Lists of needed food can be found below, and financial donations are also welcome.
Your donation makes a difference in the lives of an increasing number of Morris County families. The number of new families applying for assistance with the Interfaith Food Pantry Network has grown 75% over last year nearing levels not seen since the height of the pandemic. Many people cite the rapidly increasing costs of living as their main reason for seeking help.
Food donations can be dropped off:
