PITMAN FOOD PANTRY
The Pitman Pantry, located in rear of the First Pitman Baptist Church, continues as an ecumenical ministry of five local churches to provide food to needy families.
Food is delivered to the elderly or handicapped as needed. Volunteer workers, and donations of food and money help the Pitman Pantry satisfy the requests for food. The Pantry continues to receive food from the USDA; and the Food Bank of South Jersey, which keeps our costs down; but food available from them varies greatly; therefore we still must purchase some basic food, such as tuna, peanut butter, jelly, and cereal.
Many volunteer hours are required each week to inventory, shop, stock shelves, pack, and distribute food; and additionally, of course, complete the paperwork required by government agencies. Methodist volunteers work at the Pantry on odd dated Tuesdays from 5:30 to 7:00 PM. The volunteers of the Pitman Pantry are grateful to our congregations and to the community for their continued support and for their prayers. Our special thanks to our young people, who work so hard serving others. What a blessing they are!
The Pitman Pantry is open: Tuesday 5:30 – 7:00 PM, Wednesday 3:30 – 5:00 PM, Thursday 11:30 – 1:00 PM.

Hello,
I am interested in volunteering at the food pantry to fulfill my volunteer hours for school. When could I start?
Thanks
We’ll forward your question to the folks who run the Pitman Food Pantry. Thanks for your interest in helping!
I need to drop off food that was intended to be part of the Boy Scouts food drive. Will you be open prior to 6pm to receive donations?
Thanks for your donation! I’ll pass along your message to the Pitman Food Pantry.
Hello- how can I donate food? I have a large portion (40 lbs) of chicken breast that I would like to donate.
Thanks for your generosity! I’ll forward your message to the Pantry and they’ll get back to you.
Hello,
My son Jonah is looking for a volunteering opportunity in preparation for his bar mitzvah. Would it be possible for him to work at the food pantry on Tuesday evenings? Thank you.
