| Christine’s Kitchen West Orange, NJ 07052 973.325.0369 |
Details: Christine’s Kitchen is a free hot lunch program served weekly in the Guild Hall located in the lower part of the Holy Trinity Parish House. The number of guests served each week ranges from 75-100, with larger crowds coming towards the end of the month. Lunches are healthy and balanced, and include a hot entree, side dishes of vegetables, salad, fruit, bread, and dessert. Although the program is coordinated by Holy Trinity, and is located in our parish, we are grateful for the participation of many congregations and community groups in the area, who give of their time and their food. Volunteers cook, clean up, and bring all needed supplies (paper goods, etc.). If you would like more information about Christine’s Kitchen, please contact us at holytrinitywo@gmail.com. |
| Holy Trinity West Orange Food Pantry West Orange, NJ 07052 973.325.0369 |
Details: In October of 2002, Holy Trinity started the Food Pantry in response to the growing needs we witnessed at Christine’s Kitchen. We recognized that our guests still lacked the food the other six days of the week, especially toward the end of the month, when welfare and food stamps were running low. Our parishioners donate food, and we work with local agencies and the Community Food Bank of Hillside to provide the necessary groceries that these families require. West Orange schools, businesses, organizations, and individuals all generously help in donating food and providing financial support. The pantry is open the fourth Monday from 6:00pm-8:00pm and the third and fourth Tuesdays & Fridays from 10am-1pm. For more information, please contact us at holytrinitywo@gmail.com. |
