Aldersgate Outreach Community Center

Aldersgate Outreach Community Center The Aldersgate Outreach Community Center food pantry and thrift shop are part of the community outreach at Aldersgate UMC Doors do not open until 10AM.

AOCC food pantry and thrift shop are open from 10AM-12PM on Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday. We moved from the white house to the lower level of Aldersgate United Methodist Church in November 2023 and made changes to the days we are open and the days we accept donations. Follow the signs in the church driveway, park in the back parking lot and walk down the ramp to our entrance. Donation days for t

he thrift shop are Wednesday 10:00AM-12:30PM and Saturday 12PM-1PM. Clothing donations are currently restricted to seasonal due to storage capacity. All donations should be clean, in working order and good enough that you might want to buy it back for yourself. New pantry neighbors will need to provide a photo id on all adult household members and a birth certificate for each child under 18. In addition to proof of address in Middlesex County, proof of income or proof of SNAP, WIC, Medicaid or SSI (Social Security Disability). Once qualified, neighbors may choose groceries once per week with the week starting on Tuesday. Food Pantry Notes: Neighbors need to bring their own bags for food, none are provided. Currently, a number system is used with numbers distributed at 9:45AM on the days the pantry is open. We apologize for wait time and appreciate your cooperation. Seating is provided for up to 25 neighbors. The Thrift Shop is open to the public, and contains various items for sale (toys, clothing, household items, seasonal decorations) at great prices. Cash or Credit Card accepted. The funds raised in the thrift shop are used to support the Outreach Center. Pantry food donations may be made on the Tuesday, Thursday or Saturday from 10AM-12PM. All food must be future dated. If you have any questions, please send us a message through this page.

Thank you to the 5th graders at Hammarskjold Upper Elementary here in East Brunswick who made 75 birthday bags plus 2 boxes of extra birthday supplies and picked AOCC food pantry to receive. These will go out families, seniors and singles over the next week. Parents of the students were gracious enough to bring them over earlier this afternoon!
