Jackson Food Pantry

          Our pantry could not operate without the help of community volunteers. There are three days every month when walk in volunteers are welcome to stop in, see our pantry and do a bit of cleaning, stocking and or drop off any food or monetary donations.  Delivery day (in the morning) and Distribution dates require advance sign up as our space is limited and too many helpers make unloading the truck and distribution of food to our clients difficult. 

 Volunteer Information

          Volunteers are needed to stock pantry, offload delivery truck, bag food for clients, conduct food drives, raise funds, drive needy or handicapped clients once a month, and deliver collected food.

          Food Stocking Days are the 2^nd and 4^th Saturday of each month from 9:00AM

 – 11:00AM. The Tuesday of Distribution week we will need volunteers to sign up in advance for unloading the truck from 9:00AM – 12:00PM, and then from 12:00PM to 4:00 walk in volunteers are welcome. 

Food Drives

          Anyone wishing to run a Food Drive during the year please contact the Pantry at (732) 833- 6800 or email Director@JacksonFoodPantry.com   There are certain times of the year when we are in need of specific items.  Contacting the pantry prior to starting your food drive will help us get what we need most.

          For our clients' health and welfare, we are obligated to discard any opened, out-dated, dented or rusted cans, jars, or packages. Pre-sorting and checking the expiration dates saves our volunteers countless hours. Conveying this information to your food drive participants would be greatly appreciated.   

Community Service Projects

          Please let us know if you are interested in working on a Community Service Project (confirmation, high school students, scout troops, clubs, etc.). 

          Call (732) 833-6800, leave a brief message with your name, phone number, and other contact information, and we will return your call soon.
