Every week, volunteers like Mike Barrett put boots on the ground to serve a higher power at this food pantry.
"I ran a construction company for years. I was a union ironworker," said Mike Barrett. "But now, this is what I've been made to do."
The weekly mission existed long before he started volunteering. But after a few changes of hands, Barrett and his wife took over in January 2022. Barrett receives donations from the local Acme and Wawa stores in addition to the Community FoodBank of New Jersey. Parishioners also make donations through Our Lady of the Angels Church. Barrett even receives random cash donations from people he sees in the supermarket.
One beneficiary of the food pantry is Derick Ironside from Cape May Court House, who is looking to return to work later this year after losing his job.
