St. Joseph’s food pantry is part of a coalition of 18 food pantries in Essex County. This organization is entitled Meeting Emergency Needs with Dignity (MEND). St. Joseph’s pantry with the help of MEND serves over 150 families each month with touches about 400 people in all.
Each year MEND coordinates a WALK FOR HUNGER in Downtown Newark. This walk is a combination of making Hunger awareness in Essex County and the only fund raiser that MEND will have all year.
This year’s walk will be Friday May 3rd rain or shine at 12 noon. Walkers will be meeting at Washington Park, Newark. If anyone is interested in walking there is a sign up sheet in the back of the church. For more details please contact Don Blaesser at
