    Info

    St. Mary the Virgin Episcopal Church runs a monthly community food distribution providing supplemental groceries to families in the surrounding community. The church also maintains a 'Take and Tend Garden' — a community vegetable garden created over 12 years ago where anyone can tend the garden and harvest what they need. The congregation is a small, historically African American church that partners with other Episcopal congregations to staff its food distribution. Beyond food assistance, the church offers ESL classes serving a growing Haitian immigrant population and immigration assistance with paperwork and document processing. Judy Morris heads the Food Distribution Program and Joan Manning-Hill manages the Community Garden and ESL Program.

  15. Do I need an appointment?

    Every location is different! Some places in Absecon Highlands accept appointments, some require it, and others allow walk-ins. Please review all details on the resource page to understand how you should prepare for your visit.

  16. What kind of food do they have?

    Food pantries offer grocery-style items such as canned food, fresh produce, and dry goods like pasta or rice that you can cook yourself. Soup kitchens offer ready-to-eat items like hot meals or sandwiches. All of these locations may have different options on different days, so it is hard to tell what each one of them will offer any given day.

  17. Do they have vegetables?

    Pantries may have different options at different times, so it is hard to tell what each one of them will offer any given day. Most pantries in Absecon Highlands do give out some form of vegetables, but they may be canned items.

  18. Do they have meat?

    Pantries may have different options on different days, so it’s hard to tell what each one of them will offer any given day.

  19. Any pantries open today?

    You can browse these pages for resources in Absecon Highlands to see if any are open today. If you’ve signed up for personalized assistance through our text message helpline, please take a look at the links we’ve sent you! If none of the resources we’ve sent are open today, let us know and we can search for additional options in Absecon Highlands.

  20. Where are you located?

    Because our work is mostly virtual, the Lemontree team works remotely, and we don’t have an office in Absecon Highlands for in-person visits. You can always reach us by texting 90847 or on WhatsApp between 10am-6pm, every day of the week.

  21. Can I get a reminder before my visit?

    Yes! Tap the bell icon on any resource page to set a reminder via text or WhatsApp before it opens, so you don’t forget your visit.

  22. Can I build a weekly food schedule?

    Yes — you can use Lemontree to build a calendar of upcoming pantry visits in Absecon Highlands for the week, so you always know where to go and when. It’s a great way to plan ahead and make sure you have food throughout the week.

  23. How do I get help from a real person?

    You can text our helpline at 90847 or reach us on WhatsApp between 10am–6pm, every day of the week. A real person will help you find food in Absecon Highlands, answer questions, and connect you with the right resources.
