Table of Hope Mobile Food Delivery Program continues to feed residents throughout this pandemic. Nearly every Friday since April, the Mobile Food Delivery Program has provided families with nutritious food, delivered to the trunk of their vehicles, in the parking lot of Liquid Church, located at 299 Webro Road.

Millions of Americans lost their jobs, their paychecks and even their businesses because of the coronavirus pandemic. Job loss and other economic crises associated with the coronavirus could push the rate of food insecurity in Morris County to 9.7 percent by the end of the year.

Depending on need residents can register now to receive food or to volunteer.

All food recipients will be required to register a full name with the number of members in their family. You will be sent a conformation email once registration is complete. Bring the email with you when you come to pick up your food. You can either print it or show a copy on your phone. This process will help organizers better understand the appropriate amount of food to supply to the community, officials said.

Table of Hope needs help to distribute food to needy families at Liquid Church. Volunteers are needed on Fridays from 9 a.m. to noon. Help pack meals, drop bags into trunks, or assist residents in line with questions or information.

For more information, call the Parsippany Food Pantry at 973-263-7163.
