Prevent Food Insecurity | Little Flower Church Food Drive
Join us in supporting our local Little Flower Church Food Pantry by donating nonperishable food items in our February food drive.
As a nonprofit organization dedicated to strengthening community, join us in supporting our local Little Flower Church Food Pantry to help feed individuals and families struggling to put food on the table. For the month of February, please consider donating non-perishable food items and dropping them off in the designated bins at the Berkeley Heights YMCA.
By preventing food insecurity, you are providing opportunities for others to reach their full potential without worrying about hunger, and thus be able to learn, grow and thrive.
