Feed the Hungry Program
Helping in the Fight Against Hunger
Every third Saturday of the month, a group of Livingston UMC members leave for Orange UMC, Orange, NJ at 11am in the morning. In partnership with Orange United Methodist Church, Orange, New Jersey, the combined group of parishioners package and distribute the freshly prepared food at Orange Park, Newark Penn Station and Main Street in Orange.
This program feeds about 350 poor and needy people on the streets. This partnership brings out our connectional nature as United Methodist churches helping each other and doing God's work together. The people who have volunteered for this program are touched and moved by the connection that they develop with the poor and needy.
It is a life changing and transforming experience. It is an rewarding chance to exhale your faith by providing service to the marginalized in our society.
You can be a part of this great work by donating funds to the Livingston UMC which then can be directed towards the Orange UMC for the supplies.
You can also be a part by volunteering your services to package and distribute the food at the different locations.

"For I was hungry and you gave me food, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you welcomed me." (Mathew 25:35)
