You can receive food by visiting the food pantry or soup kitchen when it’s open. Make sure to check each resource page to see details like address, full schedule, and requirements.

Can someone deliver the food to my house?

Delivery services are very limited and are reserved for senior citizens or those with serious medical problems. If you believe you fall into either category, let us know and we may be able to help you find options in Glen Ridge.

What do I have to bring?

Every location is different! Please review the details included on each resource to see whether you need to bring any documentation like ID or proof of address, or supplies like bags to carry the food. If you don’t see any information on the resource, you don’t have to bring anything!

Do I need an appointment?

Every location is different! Some places in Glen Ridge 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.

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.

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 Glen Ridge do give out some form of vegetables, but they may be canned items.

Essex county can come in once a week while the other counties can come in once a month.

Vaccines are needed for the diaper program which is aailable only to essex county residents

They need only bring ID and proof of address. We serve all of Essex county on a once-a-week basis (except Newark. Newark is a major city with a lot of resources and we'd be overwhelmed trying to handle that city's residents) We serve all other counties in NJ on a once-a-month basis and provide them with listings for their counties.
