The Maker’s Place & DeBows Food Pantry
We will be collecting baby diapers & wipes during April, May & June. There is especially a need for size 4, 5, 6, and 7 diapers. The baby diapers and wipes collected will be distributed between clients of our Food Pantry Ministry and The Maker’s Place in Trenton, which is a faith-based nonprofit organization sponsored by United Methodists of Greater New Jersey. Monetary donations will also be accepted for this mission activity. Donated items may be placed in the designated area in the narthex.
