Human Needs Food Pantry

Human Needs Food Pantry has supported people in need since 1982 from its location at 9 Label Street in Montclair. The pantry serves people in Montclair, most of Essex County, and communities throughout New Jersey.

Services include grocery bags with fresh fruits and vegetables, meat, nonperishable foods, and personal-care items when available. The pantry also provides access to free clothing, shoes, linens, kitchenware, and other household goods for registered Essex County clients. Volunteer drivers deliver food to homebound clients. Learn more about available services on the official services page.

People who want to help can donate, volunteer, or organize a collection drive for pantry staples and other needed items. Visit the New Jersey assistance resource and federal assistance resource for additional support options. Visit the pantry’s official website to confirm current program details and donation guidance.
