Spring Food Drive
For over 25 years, the Interfaith Food Pantry Network has improved the health and well-being of Morris County residents in need by providing access to food. With over 30,000 food-insecure people in Morris County there’s no better time to fight hunger than right now.
Join our community of neighbors helping neighbors and donate non-perishable food items to the Spring PCM Food Drive for the Interfaith Food Pantry Network now through May 8.
