The food pantry of Atonement Lutheran Church is classified as an emergency food assistance program which supplements the diets of low income and elderly individuals and families. In existence for approximately 18 years, the pantry is dependent upon donations from members and friends of Atonement Lutheran Church.
The pantry is open from 11:00am to 12:30pm on the first four Wednesdays of each month.
Our clients are referred to Atonement Lutheran food pantry by many different social service agencies, and are allowed to receive food from the pantry once a month.
Our staff includes nine very dedicated members, who assist in stocking the shelves on delivery day, filling grocery bags with food items and enroll and check in our clients on food pantry days. Also, periodically helping us are students from the Youth Corp which is coordinated through Interfaith Neighbors of Asbury Park,

Each week we service more and more new clients as well as our regulars. Food supplies dwindle by the end of the month, so we are always appreciative of all food and monetary donations.
Thank you for your time and generosity.
