The Apostles’ House Food Pantry is a vital community resource that prevents or limits severe hunger in Newark. One of the largest food pantries in Essex County, we serve more than 18,000 people annually. Our pantry is one of only a few in the city that is open multiple days per week.
To meet the ever-growing problem of food insecurity, The Apostles’ House has developed relationships with the Community Food Bank of New Jersey, MEND, and St. Elizabeth’s Church located in Ridgewood, New Jersey, as well as a number of businesses and individual donors.
Additionally, our Ryan White program further enables TAH to provide food vouchers to people living with HIV/AIDS.
We ensure that our food pantry consists of things that can make a meal, taking away the worry that some may have of not consuming a balanced meal.
The pantry is located at 22 Grant Street, Newark, NJ, and is open Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays from 10 AM to 3 PM.
I would like to say that The Apostles' House has helped me in ways I didn’t expect. I greatly appreciate all the hard work, time and energy that the staff, volunteers, and others put into helping us in our time of need. They are very resourceful and persistent to help you achieve your goals. Even though it’s a shelter they made it feel like a home setting. In closing, I would like to say thank you to all the staff, volunteers, donors, and others for the much-needed assistance, time, and support.
In 2018, I was a resident of The Apostles’ House Women and Children Emergency Shelter for seven months. During my stay in the shelter, I found a support system within Miss Victoria and Miss Iris. They provided the guidance, support, and resources I needed to regain control of my life, even during the times I rebelled against it. Through it all, they showed great love and concern, and to their credit, I was able to enroll my son in childcare so that I could focus on finding and securing employment. Today I am employed and living on my own with my son. I still experience many challenges, however, I continue to take the steps necessary to maintain a life for me and my son
