Corpus Christi Food Drive

Feast of Corpus Christi: Sunday, June 14, 2020

The COVID-19 pandemic has impacted those living in poverty the most and Catholic Charities, Diocese of Paterson's 3 Food Pantries (Father English Center, Paterson; Hope House, Dover; and Partnership for Social Services, Franklin) are giving out more food than ever before.

Most months, Catholic Charities, Diocese of Paterson gives out food to 5,000 - 7,000 people at their 3 food pantries. In April of 2020, this number practically doubled, as they helped over 11,000 individuals who are feeling the direct economic impact of COVID-19.

Now through July 31st, you can offer much needed aid to Catholic Charities through our 7th Annual Corpus Christi Food Drive.

This year, we are moving virtual, through YouGiveGoods.  You may click here to view a listing of all parishes in the Diocese of Paterson. Simply find your parish and click shop. If you are a neighbor from outside of the Diocese, you may click "Non-Diocesan Friend" and choose from a large variety of selections. 

If your parish, or service group is not listed on YouGiveGoods and you would like to host your own virtual drive, please email info@ccpaterson.org. 

You may also make a monetary donation below or mail a donation to:
Catholic Charities, Diocese of Paterson
Corpus Christi Food Drive
777 Valley Road
Clifton, NJ 07013   

We are encouraging virtual giving this year, but understand that there are certain parishes, organizations and individuals who are actively shopping and may want to work directly with our pantries. Please contact Catholic Charities' Development Office to make alternate arrangements directly with our food pantries.  Email: Info@ccpaterson.org, call 973-944-5992 to set up a drop off.

Thank you for your continued support of Catholic Charities and our brothers and sisters in need.  God bless you all!
