Our Mission:

"to help feed the hungry"

FOOD:

Most of the food comes from donations: St Mary's parishioners, other churches, individuals, businesses, schools, and organizations like the Scouts, the Elk's , Rotary, the Postal Workers, etc.

About one quarter of our food comes form the Community Food Bank of N.J. - some at no cost to us (Federal & State supplied) and some bought with grant money from ShopRite of Oakland and from the Emergency Food Coalition of Passaic.

FAMILIES:

Currently we have approximately 175 families enrolled in our Food Pantry. This comes to about 480 people (adults & children). They live mainly in Pompton Lakes, Wanaque, Haskell, Bloomingdale, and Butler.
Included in the 480 people are about 185 children under the age of 18, about 38 seniors, 65 & older, and over 50 singles of all ages.

Note: Just about all races and religions are represented. Being that we are a legal, IRS recognized non-profit, all people are eligible as long as they live within our service area and meet the income guidelines supplied by TEFAP (The Emergency Food Program of NJ).
