The Pantry is the recipient of the generosity from individuals, civic organizations, churches and Nutley Township organizations. The Boy Scouts of America have been a long-time supporter and over the past several years their Scouting for Food Drive has raised over 50,000 non-perishable food items, making them the largest single contributing organization to our pantry. We are additionally grateful to Greenutley, Nutley Farmers Market, Nutley Community Garden, The Giving Garden and NFSB Girl’s Leadership Garden for their support. Nutley ShopRite sponsorship of NFSB Food Pantry via their Partner’s in Caring Grant provides staples throughout the year.
