St Paul's Episcopal Church - Food Basket and 'Soup & Song' Camden , NJ 08102 856.365.2664	Details: It is painfully obvious in Camden that some people lack very simple, basic necessities like food. Since the early 1980â€™s St Paulâ€™s has provided a food pantry. Each Friday morning a supplemental food bag is given to all on a â€œfirst come, first servedâ€ basis. This usually happens between 8.00 and 9.00 a.m. Approximately 120 bags are given out each week. The program is currently managed by volunteers from Grace Church, Haddonfield. They buy the food - much of it from the Food Bank of Southern New Jersey - they prepare the bags, and they distribute it. Since the late 1980â€™s a community breakfast has been served at St Paulâ€™s to all who come. On any given Sunday anywhere from 80 to 140 people are seated and served a hot breakfast consisting of pancakes and eggs, often augmented by meat, muffins or other treats provided by volunteers. This work was started by the teens at St Paulâ€™s who soon received the enthusiastic support of a host of volunteers from various parishes in the region surrounding Camden. Breakfast is served each Sunday from 9.00 am until 10.00 am regardless of weather or season. On the streets St Paulâ€™s is affectionately known as the â€œPancake Houseâ€.
