Mt. Ephraim Food Pantry & Thrift Store Looking for a Home

The Touch New Jersey food pantry and thrift store, serving Mount Ephraim, is urgently looking for a new home, officials said.

Currently it is in the original Sacred Heart Church, 7 N. Black Horse Pike. $\"Burger$

However, that site will be demolished in early 2010 as part of the parish’s consolidation efforts, and to accommodate more parking.

Touch New Jersey, a choice model cupboard and one of Philabundance’s agencies, serves more than 1,000 individuals monthly with a selection of perishable and nonperishable food items rather than prepared bags or boxes.

Philabundance, the Delaware Valley’s largest hunger relief organization, sends Touch New Jersey enough produce for 625 individuals weekly.

\”Mount Ephraim will lose a vital service to its community and the many people served if a new location cannot be found by March 1 for the food cupboard and thrift store,\” said officials from Touch New Jersey, which operates another pantry in Camden and is committed to staying in and serving the suburbs.

On November 19, the group distributed Thanksgiving provisions to about 500 families. reprinted from the Gloucester City News
