Parsippany Food Pantry Seeks Donations

The Parsippany Emergency Food Pantry is located at the community center.

Recently, the Parsippany-Troy Hills Education Association (PTHEA) donated $1,850 to the Parsippany Emergency Food Pantry to help the pantry feed township families in need this Thanksgiving.

However, the pantry is asking the community for more donations, especially with the holidays coming up. 

“Non-perishable food items are always critically needed and appreciated from schools, church groups, clubs, scouts and individuals,” said the pantry. “Donations like your help us meet the needs of families here in Parsippany.”

Here’s a look at what they’re asking for.
