Prevent Food Insecurity | Little Flower Church Food Drive

As a nonprofit organization dedicated to strengthening community, join us in supporting our local Little Flower Church Food Pantry to help feed individuals and families struggling to put food on the table. For the month of February, please consider donating non-perishable food items and dropping them off in the designated bins at the Berkeley Heights YMCA. 

By preventing food insecurity, you are providing opportunities for others to reach their full potential without worrying about hunger, and thus be able to learn, grow and thrive.

In 1886, we were founded as the Young Men’s Christian Association, but today, we are The Y; an association that values, and is made stronger by, its diverse people. We stand for youth development, healthy living and social responsibility — For a better us. We are committed to creating equal opportunity for all regardless of gender, age, disability, income, ethnicity, sexual orientation or religious affiliation. We strive to create a welcoming and inclusive culture in which our four core values — responsibility, honesty, caring and respect — are integral to everyday operations.
