Shopping Angels is a non-profit that does food shopping for community members at an increased health risk. The organization is looking to recruit some community volunteers as they have had specific requests for volunteers within the Bergen County Jewish community who are familiar with the Kosher stores.

They have also launched a sponsorship program where individuals who cannot afford their items get matched with a sponsor - sometimes within their state, sometimes across the country - who wants to help cover the cost of their items. This is a huge need for us as well.

The coordinator can be reached at shoppingangelshq@gmail.com or visit the website at www.shoppingangelsglobal.org/

KOSHER FOOD PANTRY

There is a new kosher food pantry in the garage at 65 Thames Blvd in Bergenfield with shelves full of closed non perishables and has now expanded to include a refrigerator and freezer full of fresh food. The items are currently all from Grand and Essex's deli and takeout counter in closed labeled trays.  For health and safety reasons nothing has been handled or repacked after it left the store.  

The pantry is open Sunday-Thursday from 10:00 AM-10:00 PM. Appointments are not necessary. You can take food, bring food, or both (when garage is empty).

Please note that there is a collection of toys and games as well. Masks and gloves must be worn.
