Star Fish Food Pantry

These are some donated food items from one of our supporting partners, the local Rotary Club. You can donate food through them by clicking here. 

Due to changes brought on by the Covid-19 pandemic, we now give our families ShopRite gift cards instead of the grocery items listed below, which are shown for your information.

The value of the card(s) depends on the sizes of the families, but the cards are intended to allow families to purchase the type of food that they both need and desire to celebrate their holiday dinners appropriately.

You can help by donating any amount toward the purchase of gift cards.

Two of our volunteers work to distribute canned vegetables as we pack Thanksgiving Dinner bags for Plainfield families in need.

Our Holiday Dinner Project serves 160 to 170 families of all sizes every Thanksgiving, Christmas, and Easter. Each family receives a frozen turkey or a canned ham, depending on the holiday, plus all the trimmings needed to make it a special holiday dinner.

The Rotary Club of Plainfield-North Plainfield donates enough food (pictured above) each holiday for twelve families.

Two sizes of hams were available - three pound and five pound - and were distributed based on family size. 

Volunteers add the finishing touches to the piles of food waiting to be packed in the grocery bags on the floor. 

All those boxes of food get recycled when empty. Two of our workers are busy prepping the boxes for bundling.
