The Matawan Community Food Pantry is sponsored by Cross of Glory Lutheran Church in Aberdeen and First Presbyterian Church of Matawan. It is located at the Matawan Borough Community Center at 201 Broad Street at Church Street in Matawan. The Food Pantry is one of the community missions of our congregation. It helps to carry out our mission by “sharing God’s gifts” and “exemplifying God’s love”. The Food Pantry provides food to individuals and families in need in our local community.
Volunteers from both congregations operate the Food Pantry and provide groceries to community members in need on the last Saturday of every month between 8:00am and noon. The pantry accepts donations of non-perishable items all year. Donations may be left in the collection bin located at the main entrance of the Community Center at 201 Broad Street.
Non-perishable donations are also accepted in any of the three bins inside First Presbyterian Church of Matawan located at 883 Route 34. These are accepted during Sunday worship hours between 8:30am-11:30am. One bin is in the Narthex (main entrance of the church), the second floor hallway, and the first floor hallway by the Nursery School entrance.
Monetary donations are also welcome.
Payments may be made via Zelle or check payable to First Presbyterian Church of Matawan with “Food Pantry” in the memo.
