WMPC Community Pantry

WMPC Community Pantry In 2020 when the pandemic hit, we saw the need to increase our efforts by opening weekly, rather than monthly.

The mission and ministry of the West Milford Presbyterian Church Community Pantry is to help our community neighbors in need who struggle to make ends meet by supporting and providing food assistance. We then expanded our provisions to include fresh items such as milk, butter, eggs, fruits, vegetables, meats in addition to the basic non-perishables. Our pantry clients call in during our open hour

s and each request is personally handled by a volunteer. A pickup time is individually arranged in order to keep our client's anonymity essential. Through the support and donations from food drives, community organizations, schools and individuals, we’ve been able to maintain the weekly requests. However, with rising costs and job inconsistency we are finding more families calling our pantry for assistance.

We are truly blessed to be part of a community that cares so deeply for one another and opens its heart to those who are struggling. 💙 Apshawa Elementary School recently donated not just a few items, but a carload and more to the WMPC Community Pantry!

This wonderful effort was organized by the Student Council, with the support of teacher Lisa Ruffo. Through their generosity, students donated items that will undoubtedly bring smiles to the faces of children and parents throughout our community.

Whether there’s “something in the water” or this community simply gets it, one thing is clear—caring and sharing are at the heart of who we are. ❤️
Thank you to all the students who participated and helped make a meaningful difference!

It is with heavy hearts that we share the passing of our dear friend and faithful member, Phyllis Elaine Wilson.
Phyllis’s life was deeply rooted in the West Milford Presbyterian Church. She joined our church as a young teenager and remained devoted throughout her life—teaching Sunday School, serving in the Dorcas Circle, faithfully fulfilling the role of Deacon, and joyfully participating in all aspects of church life.
During a difficult season in her own life, the WMPC Community Pantry supported Phyllis, a kindness she never forgot. In gratitude, the pantry became her personal mission, and she gave generously of her time and resources to ensure others received the same care and compassion she once experienced.
A memorial service celebrating Phyllis’s life will be led by Rev. Dr. Christopher Doyle on December 19 at 11:00 AM at the West Milford Presbyterian Church. The church is handicap accessible. A light repast will follow in the Fellowship Hall.
In lieu of flowers, donations in Phyllis’s memory may be made to the WMPC Community Food Pantry, 1452 Union Valley Road, West Milford, NJ 07480.
Phyllis will be deeply missed, and we give thanks to God for her life, her faith, and her enduring legacy of service and love.
