Volunteering

Volunteers are the heartbeat of our community. Taking action can be done by doing as simple as hosting a lemonade or cookie stand, or something as big as organizing a food drive with your neighborhood’s school, religious organization, or local business!

There’s no wrong answer, so feel free to get creative with it! You could also assist with the food pantry through means such as sorting and shelving food (as well as assisting in the removal of expired goods) and the preparation and retrieval of donations or grocery store orders!

Pantry Needs

Our pantry is always in need of a fresh stock! We’re currently looking for reusable bags, rice, canned chicken, juice, syrup, toilet paper, fruit cups, canned carrots, evaporated milk, and fresh fruit or vegetables. We also accept school supplies and backpacks.

Supplies can be dropped off at our building, or if we are off-hours feel free to drop them off at the Cranford Fire Department from 7AM - 8PM.

Run a Food Drive

Food drives are a fun and important way to make sure we can maximize what we can do with our budget! In order to make the best food drive possible, please consider the following steps:

• Planning what, how, when, and where to collect.
• Promoting your drive consistently and widely.
• Collect the items.
• Discard expired food.
• Confirm drop-off.
• Deliver goods to the pantry.
