MORRIS PLAINS, NJ - The Interfaith Food Pantry is in need of 1,000 Turkeys! Due to the devastation caused by Hurricane Sandy, turkeys that would have normally gone to the less fortunate were left without refrigeration. As a result, thousands of New Jersey residents are without the basics to stock their pantries. With Thanksgiving quickly approaching, the Interfaith Food Pantry has turned to Hurricane Sandy Helping Hands for assistance. Family First Homecare has partnered with Hurricane Sandy Helping Hands to further these efforts.
The Interfaith Food Pantry is located at 2 Executive Drive in Morris Plains, NJ and can also be reached at 973-538-8049 or via the web at www.mcifp.org.
