The Ponds Food Pantry is only one aspect of a larger ministry to address food insecurity. Community Table and Soul to Soul provide other forms of support.

Community Table

Community Table is a free meal served on the first Monday of each month from 6 pm to 8 pm in the Fellowship Hall.

Anyone is invited. Community Table is more than about a meal. It is bringing together members of the wider community where people will find a place of friendship and support.

In today’s world people not only are at risk of food insecurity, they risk lacking vital, healthy relationships.

Soul to Soul

Soul to Soul is a ministry for mothers and young children as well as individuals with specific dietary needs. Soul to Soul provides diapers, wipes and formula to mothers struggling with food insecurity.

Rebuilding Together North Jersey

When families can’t afford to address repair needs, small problems grow into big issues, and the home can become unsafe and unhealthy.

For families caring for loved ones with a disability, home modifications are key to safety as well as the quality of life.

For many seniors, it can make all the difference between being able to age in a place with dignity or having to leave the home they love.

Ponds Church works with Rebuilding Together North Jersey to address unsafe or unhealthy conditions.

Grief Share

Grief Share meets the 2nd and 4th Mondays each month at 7 pm. If you are in need of a community that understands how overwhelming life can be following the loss of a loved one, attending one or more of these sessions may give you the support you’re seeking.

For more information please call 201-674-5544 or email Ron Petherbridge at rpetherb@gmail.com or Pastor Debbie, debbie@pondsnj.org.
