Saint Mother Teresa Food Pantry

Saint Joseph Church is proud to sponsor our Saint Mother Teresa Food Pantry located on the side entrance of our Parish Center at 22 Halsted Street, Newton (the white building immediately to the right of the church). 
The food pantry is open on WEDNESDAYS.  Those who are in need of food for themselves or their families, are invited to come to our Food Pantry (located on the side entrance of the Parish Center) and choose your desired food each WEDNESDAY from 10:30am-12:00Noon with the assistance of one of our volunteers.

In response to the Lord's mandate: "When I was hungry you gave me to eat" (Matthew 25:35), our parish community is proud to be one of several food pantries in Sussex County, providing food for people each and every WEDNESDAY from 10:30am-12:00Noon.  Food is also made available to those who were not able to come on Monday (these people also need to be Newton residents).  

Monetary donations are always welcome to help support this august ministry. There are wooden boxes clearly marked "Donations to Saint Mother Teresa Food Pantry" at each entrance of the church.  You may also put your donation in the Sunday collection basket in a separate envelope clearly marked "Food Pantry Donation" or you may also mail it directly to the Parish Center at: 22 Halsted Street, Newton, New Jersey 07860. 

If you would like to be part of this very rewarding ministry by either bringing food to the pantry or assisting the many volunteers who distribute, pack and organize the food donations, please contact the Food Pantry at 973.383.1985. 

Thank you for being part of this very essential part of our outreach ministry here at Saint Joseph Church.
