    Info

    Danny's Pantry (also known as the Daniel Anderl Food Pantry) is a memorial food pantry named in honor of Daniel Anderl, the son of U.S. District Judge Esther Salas, who was murdered in 2020. Located inside the Martin Luther King Jr. Federal Building and U.S. Courthouse, the pantry provides groceries and self-care essentials to participants in the District of New Jersey's problem-solving courts, including the ReNew reentry court and the POP (Pretrial Opportunity Program) Court. A second location operates in the Camden vicinage courthouse. The pantry can be opened by request outside of regular hours.

  15. Do I need an appointment?

    Every location is different! Some places in Oak Island Junction 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 Oak Island Junction 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?

    If you’ve signed up for personalized assistance through our text message helpline, please take a look at the links we’ve sent you!
