January Drive-Thru Food Collection

When: Saturday, January 11th, 10 a.m. – 12 p.m.
Where: Cranford United Methodist Church’s Parking Lot (next to the Cranford Library)

 

The holidays may be over, but many local families still need nutritious food. If you can, consider adding a bag of groceries to your shopping list. Your generosity will make a big difference for families facing tough times!

 

What to Bring:

All donations will go to St. Joseph’s Social Services Center in Elizabeth.

 

Suggested items:

• Fresh produce: apples, pears, potatoes, sweet potatoes, onions, garlic, and carrots.

• Pantry staples: applesauce, broth, peanut butter, salt, pepper, oil, spices, salad dressing, pasta, pasta sauce, rice, cookies, and pudding.

• Canned goods: vegetables, tuna, and chicken.

 

How It Works:

1. Load your grocery bags into your trunk.

2. Drive into the church parking lot.

3. Pop your trunk, and our friendly volunteers will handle the rest!

Please ensure all items are non-expired.

 

Can’t make it on January 11th?

No problem! You can drop off donations anytime in the bins near the Little Free Pantry in the church parking lot. They’re available 24/7 for your convenience.
