The Abundant Life Food Bank has been in operation for 9 years.  Its primary objective is to reduce hunger among the diverse ethnic groups in our community.  The program serves seniors and families who have been affected by homelessness, low income, temporary economic hardship or unexpected catastrophic events.  Each week volunteers transport and prepare items for distribution including canned and dry goods, breads, vegetables, meat, and beverages.  In 2009, the food bank received contributions from the Food Bank of South jersey, Shoprite Partners in Caring, Panera Bread’s Day End Dough Nation Program, Wegmans’ Waste Not Want Not Program and Ready Pac Donations.  Together we are changing lives one family at a time.
