StarFish Food Pantry

     We collect food for StarFish Food Pantry in Plainfield, and provide Thanksgiving and Christmas dinners for twelve families through StarFish.   Members bring canned and dry goods to our weekly meetings, and one of our members delivers the food to StarFish.

     We also provide the fixings for twelve family dinners each Thanksgiving, Christmas, and Easter as part of StarFish's annual projects.   StarFish volunteers prepare these family dinner packages for 150 families, large and small, at each of these primary holidays.  Much of this food (including turkeys and hams) is purchased by StarFish specifically for each project.  The photo at the top of this page shows some of the food being prepared for Thanksgiving distribution.

     We also help maintain vegetable garden plots at the Giving Garden in Warren Township, growing vegetables in our own 160 square foot plot and helping maintain other plots in this community garden.  We collect the farm produce and bring it to the StarFish Food Pantry every week during the growing season.  You can see the garden and some of our crops in the Food for those in need photo album on the Community Service page.

     StarFish of Plainfield is a 501(c)(3) and relies on the generosity of its friends and supporters.  You can help feed those in need by donating canned and dry goods; email RotaryPNP@verizon.net for drop-off location information.  If you'd prefer to support StarFish financially, click here to donate to the StarFish Food Pantry.
