Parish ministries, non-profit organizations and community partners across the Diocese of Camden work diligently to aid those who may need a little extra help when it comes to food security.
As winter has arrived, the Catholic Star Herald has expanded the list of local food banks/pantries across South Jersey, listed below. Please call the food pantry to confirm dates and times, as scheduling may change. Note that some food pantries may require identification and only serve certain areas.
