The St. Paul's Food Pantry is a joint social ministry of St. Paul's Lutheran Church in Collingswood, New Jersey and other Christian churches in the area. It is been in operation over 20 years. The Food Pantry is overseen by a board and daily operations are administered by a pantry coordinator. Currently, the pantry serves about 300-350 families per month.
Our mission is to provide assistance to local families who face the constant struggle of providing food for their families as well as others who occasionally need help when faced with illness or loss of income.
The pantry provides food and personal health items to those in need who live in Collingswood, Audubon, Haddon Township, Haddon Heights, Woodlynne, and Oaklyn. Clients must register with the pantry in order to receive assistance for themselves and their family on a reoccurring basis, however, no one in immediate genuine need for food is denied. We have over 115 registered clients. Of of these clients, about 25% are seniors and over 50% are children.
Registrants may obtain food from the pantry every two weeks. At each visit, two large market bags of food are provided as well as a plastic bag containing margarine, bread, and meat products. When available, clients may also choose three items from a preferred food list. The store value of each recipient's bag averages more than $125 each visit.
