AOCC is a primary mission of Aldersgate. Our food pantry provides food to hundreds of families each month at our Ryders Lane location. In addition, we make a monthly onsite distribution to almost 100 residents at the Hall’s Corner Senior Apartments in East Brunswick. Clients of the food pantry are registered and meet Federal and State guidelines for assistance. We also have a thrift shop which is open to the public and sells new and used clothing, toys and household items. The proceeds from the thrift shop support the food pantry.
Monetary donations are always welcome, especially during this difficult time when we may not be able to get all the food we need through the Community Food Bank, Replenish, the Middlesex County Food Bank or community donations and have to pay full retail prices through grocery stores. Donations may be made through the “Donate” button (top left of this page). If you or your organization would like to set u a food drive for AOCC, please contact Diane Hutchins at 908-239-9098. |
