The Philipsburg Food Pantry is open from 10 AM to 3:30 PM, Monday through Friday. Volunteers unpack donated and purchased food, sort and stack food on our pantry shelves, prepare grocery bags for our clients, and break down empty boxes and carry them to trash bins. Volunteers can also provide basic case management services and should have an awareness of local resources or be willing to learn. Please send resume to MHunter@ccdom.org and indicate Volunteer Work (Food Pantry / Thrift Store) in the subject line.

Volunteers for the Senior Shopper program deliver groceries to a senior in Somerset County. “I couldn’t do it without them,” Says Mrs. S. of the students of the New Road School who have shopped for her since early this year. “This is a wonderful program and it is also my pleasure to talk to the volunteers about their lives and share a little bit of myself.” Operated by Catholic Charities Diocese of Metuchen for the Somerset County Office on Aging, the Senior Shopper program currently serves 84 low and moderate income elderly or disabled people who otherwise could not remain in their homes and preserve their independence.
