HANOVER — The First Presbyterian Church of Whippany, located at 494 Route 10, calls on the community for support as their year-round food pantry faces critically low supplies. While hunger is often at the top of the mind during the holiday season, it’s an ongoing struggle for many families throughout the year. The church’s food pantry plays a vital role in helping to meet these needs, but with stock running low, donations are urgently needed.

The pantry particularly needs non-perishable food items, toiletries, cleaning supplies, and paper products. The most requested items include cereal, pasta, soup, canned meats like tuna and Spam, rice, peanut butter, and condiments. Toiletries such as shampoo, conditioner, soap, deodorant, and feminine products are also in high demand. Additionally, cleaning supplies like Lysol wipes, window cleaner, PineSol, and dish soap are needed, along with paper products such as toilet paper, napkins, and paper towels.

Donations can be dropped off in the bin at the church’s rear, near the glass doors. The church emphasizes that every contribution, no matter how small, can significantly impact those in need.

“We rely on the generosity of our community to keep our shelves stocked and to continue serving those who rely on us,” said a representative from the church. “Hunger doesn’t take a break after the holidays, nor do we. We’re grateful for any help people can offer during this time.”

The First Presbyterian Church of Whippany hopes that with the community’s help, it can replenish its pantry and continue to provide much-needed support to local families.

For more information on donating or getting involved, the church encourages community members to visit in person or contact them directly. Together, the community can ensure that no one goes hungry in Whippany.
