Food Pantry Needs

Thanks to generous donors, our food pantries are helping more people than any time in our 80 year history.  Our Fr. English Food Pantry, located in Paterson, New Jersey is one of the largest food pantries in the state. 


Each day, we are asked "what do you need" and "how can I help you"? Below is a list of commonly needed items.  

When you are helping over 20,000 children, women and men each month, any sort of donation will go a long way!
