About CFB Ministry:
What will volunteers be doing?
Our volunteers have worked on an assembly line to help fill boxes with needed food items. We also break down boxes by emptying contents inside so that foods can be sorted. In the pasta room we have filled hundreds of ziploc bags with pasta. Everything we do at the CFG gets distributed to our seniors, needy families that are struggling, food pantries that can't keep up with the demand and soup kitchens throughout New Jersey.
Who can participate?
Anyone 12 years or older are welcome to join. This is a very rewarding, uplifting experience and also an opportunity to meet your fellow parishioners. At this time, even though the mandate has been lifted, masks will still be required as per the request of the CFB.
How do I sign up or learn more?
Please contact Viv Del Prete at 908-322-6912, or email rvjdel@comcast.net by Tuesday, May 2.
Our mission is to fight hunger and poverty in New Jersey by assisting those in need and seeking long-term solutions. We will engage, educate, and empower all sectors of society in the battle. We fill the emptiness caused by hunger with FOOD, HELP, and HOPE. For our neighbors, especially families and for the volunteers and donors who support them, the Community Food Bank of New Jersey (CFBNJ) is the powerful change agent that fills the emptiness caused by hunger with the basic human essentials that people need to survive.
The St. Bartholomew the Apostle Social Outreach Ministry organizes food drives for the Community FoodBank in Hillside, NJ, and volunteers to sort food and stock the shelves.
Volunteers must be at least 12 years old.
