FOOD PANTRY


Thank you for your interest in volunteering at St. Peter’s Haven!

Hours:

Saint Peter’s Haven Food Pantry is open for volunteers on Tuesdays through Saturdays starting at 8:00 AM. Volunteers may sort groceries, prepare bags, organize our inventory, distribute food, and help with other projects as needed.

Additionally, on the second Friday and fourth Monday of every month, we receive our monthly allotment of food from the Community Foodbank of New Jersey, our major provider of food for our pantry. On these days, we always need assistance from 8:00 AM to noon to help unload the shipment, re-stock shelves, and organize inventory.

Shipment Days are the second Friday and fourth Monday of every month from 8am-12pm
