DeBows Food Pantry

March 17, 2026 Leave a Comment

DeBows UMC, in partnership with Fulfill (formerly known as “The FoodBank of Monmouth & Ocean Counties”) offers a Community Food Pantry, which is open on the 2nd & 4th Mon‌day each month, 5:45 to 7:45 PM. You may come anytime 5:45 to 7:45 PM. If you have any questions, please call 848-373-8844.

The Food Pantry Ministry serves up to 150 families twice a month. We are extremely appreciative of the volunteers that make our Food Pantry possible, and we welcome anyone interested in getting involved. Please send email to the Food Pantry Team if you need further information or would like to explore ways to help with the Food Pantry ministry.

NOTE: There is a continuous need for reusable shopping bags to facilitate the distribution of food. Any donations of clean, reusable shopping bags would be greatly appreciated. There is a receptacle to place donated bags outside of Fellowship Hall.

130 Years of Faithful Service

March 2, 2026 Leave a Comment

DeBows United Methodist Church

DeBows had its beginnings in 1867.  It was then known as the DeBows Methodist Episcopal Sabbath School.  Christian education classes and worship were held in a small schoolhouse near the site of the present church building.

In May of 1896, DeBows was incorporated and officially became a Methodist Episcopal Church. Land was purchased at the current location and a new church building was erected.

You can see a complete history of DeBows and some pictures under the “About” menu tab.
