- Trying to Stay Open...
We are trying to stay open to distribute food with as few people as possible. Our normal food sorting, packing and distribution process requires many hands. - Emergency Food Bags
Since "normal" is not an option right now, we are asking for your help to purchase and deliver a complete Emergency Food Bag. We will distribute the bags directly to the community.
- A Shopping List
Please take our shopping list to the store with you, check off the items you have included, and deliver the whole bag to us. Please double bag!

We are working on establishing collection points and will communicate information as it becomes available.

Food
- We are distributing sandwiches daily.
- If you would like to donate sandwiches, please make the sandwiches "in bulk" per the guidelines on our website: https://www.sjeliz.org/donate-food.html.
PLEASE individually wrap each sandwich and label each loaf of sandwiches so that we know whether or not they need to be refrigerated. If you would like to contribute a bagged lunch, please put the non-perishables (drink, fruit cup, snack) in a bag and we can add the sandwiches as needed.
PLEASE be sure to wear gloves and follow sanitary guidelines when making sandwiches.
We are also asking for small bags of fruit that do not need to be refrigerated - apples, oranges, etc. - Please bring sandwiches or bags of fruit to 118 Division St., Elizabeth, NJ between 9am and 12pm.
- We are distributing monthly food bags to registered clients during operating hours.
Medicine
- If you need prescription assistance or have other food needs please leave a message at 908.354.5456 x9 and we will call you back.
