Our Pantry is a member of MEND, an Interfaith Food Pantry Network and The Community Food Bank of New Jersey.

The Food Pantry has been providing food on an emergency basis to families in Bloomfield and surrounding communities in Essex County. We currently serve an average of 50-60 families per month, which ranges between 75 and 165 individuals. A referral is required.

The Food Pantry is located on the church premises at 147 Broad Street, Bloomfield, and is open 9:30 am to 11:00 am every Wednesday and Friday, and 10 am to 12 noon on the fourth Saturday of the month. In November 2006, The Woman's Fellowship of The Bloomfield Presbyterian Church On The Green dedicated a plaque in memory of Jeannette Brien, the Founder and Director of the pantry for over 25 years. This plaque is currently in place above the door leading into the pantry.

The current director is Bruce Turnbull. For more information, please call the Church Office at 973-743-1796 during office hours, 9:00 am to 1:00 pm, Monday through Friday.

Donations of non-perishable food are welcome and may be dropped off at the Church Office during office hours. We also accept monetary donations by making the check out to BPCOG (Bloomfield Presbyterian Church On The Green) and note for the Food Pantry, and mail to the Church address.
