Feed the Northeast 2021 Benefits Local Pantry! For the fourth year in a row, the Northeast Thrivent Member Network supported its members in fighting food insecurity in communities across the region with the Feed Northeast Thrivent Action Team Incentive. They encouraged members to host food drives for local non-profit pantries and gave them assistance to do so. As added incentive the first 50 teams to gather 500 items would receive $500 for their local food pantries. Prince of Peace Lutheran Church in Hardyston took up the challenge. Volunteers gathered well over 800 items for "Grace's Pantry" in just two weeks. Even after the church had qualified as one of the first 50 the food kept coming. So many from the community joined the effort, with a large donation coming from the Sussex Elks Lodge. As a result, “Grace’s Pantry” a non-profit food pantry located at the senior center in Franklin, has more food than their shelves can hold. If you need assistance with groceries, Grace’s Pantry can help. Current hours are Tuesdays and Thursdays from 10 am – Noon. Beginning in June the pantry will be open Monday through Friday from 10 am - 12 Noon each day. Please call (862) 266-9126 to schedule a grocery pick up.
