The IFPN Annual Public Meeting will be taking place on May 29,2025.

The Interfaith Food Pantry Network’s 2025 Spring Gala, Harvesting Hope, promises to be a special celebration of IFPN and its supporters who ensure we can provide emergency and supplemental nutritious food to over 10,000 Morris County neighbors each month who are facing hunger and food insecurity.

In 2024, we distributed a record 2.3 million pounds of food including fresh produce, eggs, dairy, frozen meats and shelf stable foods – the equivalent of 2.1 million meals – through visits to one of our two pantries, home deliveries and via our network of 37 partners throughout Morris County.

We look forward to honoring:

Alstede Farms with the Outstanding Partnership Award

Timothy J. Lockwood with the Community Impact Award

Tom Maoli, Celebrity Motor Car Company, Whippany with the Neighbors Helping Neighbors Award

The Gala will reflect on an extraordinary year when we accommodated a 22% increase in new clients (and growing) while making great strides toward creating a more food secure community.

Please consider supporting the IFPN 2025 Gala through an auction prize donation, digital journal ad or 50/50 raffle purchase, donation or join the celebration on April 25. Your support will help us meet the future demands of our community for years to come. We are truly grateful to all those who give generously to make our work possible.

Every second Saturday in May, letter carriers in more than 10,000 cities and towns across America collect the goodness and compassion of their postal customers, who participate in the NALC Stamp Out Hunger National Food Drive — the largest one-day food drive in the nation.

Led by letter carriers represented by the National Association of Letter Carriers (AFL-CIO), with help from rural letter carriers, other postal employees and other volunteers, the drive has delivered

To donate, leave a sturdy bag (or bags) containing non-perishable foods, such as canned soup, canned vegetables, canned meats and fish, pasta, rice or cereal before the regular mail delivery on Saturday, May 11th. The carrier will do the rest. The food donations stay in each community, going to help local residents.
