Father English Food Pantry Temporary Operating location:
The Father English Food Pantry and Community Center are undergoing temporary renovation, as part of our efforts to improve our services to our community members.
The food pantry at the Father English Center in Paterson has distributed millions of pounds of food. During and after Covid, our numbers quadrupled for those in need of assistance. The building itself has outworn its ability to serve those in need and we realized that if we did not address the many needs of roofing, electric, HVAC and asbestos issues, we would no longer have a food pantry to distribute to so many who are in need. Our capital campaign has assisted us in raising the necessary funds needed to renovate our facility into a state of the art, choice, food pantry.
This exciting project is part of our Revitalization Campaign, funded by the incredible generosity of our Diocesan faithful, Bishop Kevin Sweeney's Diocesan Ministries Appeal, family foundations, community partners, and individuals.
We at Catholic Charities, Diocese of Paterson want to continue supporting our community during construction activities. For information on how to receive or give help, please see below:
