FIVE LOAVES FOOD PANTRY - CINCO PANES PANTRY MERCADO

The Second Reformed Church New Brunswick and Trinity House, a Christian group at Rutgers University, are running a food pantry for the local community. The food pantry is unique in that families get to choose their own food rather than receive a pre-packaged set. Families are given "points" based on the number of members in the family. These points can be redeemed for foods across several categories – proteins, beans, vegetables, fruits, rice, pasta, cereals and miscellaneous items.

OPEN:  from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m. Mondays, Wednesdays and Saturdays with parking available next to the church building on Mine Street. Address - 100 College Ave, New Brunswick NJ 08901  - Click for Information

Our Mission

Rev. Douglas S. Shepler

The mission of the Second Reformed Church of New Brunswick is to be a community of Christians called by God to be a living witness to God's saving grace in Jesus Christ through proclaiming God's word, living as a community of Christ's disciples, caring for and nurturing one another, developing the talents and resources God has given, engaging in mission to the people among whom God has placed us, and inviting them to accept God's gracious gifts of forgiveness and new life in Jesus Christ.

History

Founded: The Second Reformed Protestant Dutch Church of the City of New Brunswick was founded on St. Valentine's Day in 1843 by the Classis of New Brunswick.  It was founded on a request by 23 families of the 1st Reformed Church to be constituted as a new congregation. Their reasons for the request included the observation that 1st Church was filled to overflowing. A new church was needed, not only for themselves, but for other people of the community.
