Food Pantry

Help Support the Saint Martin de Porres Food Pantry at St. David the King

Our parish is currently collecting non-perishable food items for the RISE Food Pantry in Hightstown, NJ, which serves families in need. Your generous donations make a direct impact in our local community.

How You Can Help:

  • Drop-Off Location: Donations can be placed in the gathering space at all weekend and daily Masses, or during office hours.
  • Donation Tip: When shopping for items, consider purchasing two smaller or mid-sized items rather than one large or bulk-sized product. This way, more families can benefit from your generosity.
  • “Feed the Hungry” Bags: Feel free to leave your St. David the King “Feed the Hungry” bag in the donation box, and pick up a new one for your next donation. This helps keep our efforts organized and encourages ongoing support.

Please Note: We kindly request no glass containers or expired items.

“Compassion is preferable to cleanliness. Reflect that with a little soap I can easily clean my bed covers, but even with a torrent of tears I would never wash from my soul the stain that my harshness toward the unfortunate would create.”
