BOONTON — A dedicated crew from Asplundh Engineering, headquartered in Boonton, recently spent a full morning volunteering at the Loaves and Fishes Community Food Pantry, providing essential support to a nonprofit that serves families in need throughout the region.
The team arrived ready to work, assisting with a range of tasks including cleaning the facility, sorting donations, and restocking food items on pantry shelves. Their efforts helped prepare the pantry for its next distribution day, ensuring a smooth and welcoming experience for clients.
Located at 513 Birch Street in Boonton, the Loaves and Fishes Community Food Pantry has been a vital resource for individuals and families facing food insecurity in the area. Staffed entirely by volunteers, the pantry offers nonperishable foods, fresh produce, and essential household items to residents of Boonton and surrounding towns.
“The Asplundh team was incredible,” said a pantry coordinator. “They came in with energy and heart, and tackled everything from sweeping floors to organizing shelves. Their help made a huge difference.”
Asplundh Engineering, a division of the nationally recognized Asplundh Tree Expert company, provides utility infrastructure services throughout New Jersey and beyond. Company leaders say community outreach is an essential part of their culture.
“We’re proud to call Boonton home,” said a team lead from Asplundh. “Volunteering at Loaves and Fishes gave us a chance to give back in a hands-on way, right here in our own backyard.”
The Loaves and Fishes pantry operates on a donation-based model and relies heavily on community support. Volunteers are always welcome, and local residents can contribute by donating food, toiletries, or funds. More information is available on their Facebook page or by contacting the pantry directly.
This partnership between a Boonton-based business and a local nonprofit reflects the strong sense of community that continues to define the town—where service, compassion, and civic pride go hand in hand.
