Providing food and basic necessities for families in the Peapack-Gladstone area.

The keystone of the Peapack Reformed Church is community and we are passionate about providing love and support to our neighbors in need. The Peapack-Gladstone Food Pantry is a hub where community members can come to get food, personal hygiene items, and additional basic necessities, free of charge. Donation supported and volunteer-run, the Peapack-Gladstone Food Pantry is here to help.

Food Pantry Open Every Sunday for distribution.

Assorted groceries on a table, including cereal boxes, pasta, canned tuna, black beans, strawberry-flavored snack bars, apple juice, oatmeal, tomato sauce, and jar of marinara.

We distribute food and basic necessities every Sunday with a church sponsored coffee hour.  Donations are available for families, couples, and singles. Distribution takes place inside the church fellowship hall. Patrons are welcome to park in the church parking lot.
