Food Drive


Food Drive
We have been notified by the Montclair-Glen Ridge-Nutley Chapter of the Red Cross that the Nutley Red Cross Food Pantry is in need of food. While this is an ongoing need, it is especially important in March and April. The Feinstein Foundation Challenge through which $1,000,000.00 is distributed to participating food pantries is based upon the quantity of food and money collected during these months. Basically, the more food and money that is collected, the more money the Red Cross receives from the foundation.

Items most needed:

Cold cereal
Pasta Sauce
Peanut Butter
Chunky-style soups
Baked Beans
Canned Beef Stew
Canned Fruit
Mac & Cheese
Beans

Nice-to-have items:

Cookies
Coffee
Tea

They especially need the items listed above because they are seldom provided through the state emergency food sources. However, any types of non-perishable food items are welcome.

Bring your non-perishable food items to worship with you, and leave them in the designated area in the Narthex.

Thank you!
