The Bread of Life Food Pantry was established in 2009 as a ministry of Epworth in cooperation with other houses of worship in the area. We primarily serve those in need of food in the tri-boro area of Palmyra, Cinnaminson, and Riverton but no one is turned away. We receive food from the South Jersey Food Bank as well as donations from the community. Currently, we distribute food once a month using a grab-n-go style. We are thankful for the generosity of our community and the many volunteers who serve those in need.

Operation Christmas Child is a project of Samaritan’s Purse, an international relief organization. Their mission is to provide local partners around the world with shoeboxes filled with small toys, hygiene items, and school supplies as a means of reaching out to children in their own communities with the Good News of Jesus Christ. We ship these simple gifts outside the United States to children affected by war, poverty, natural disaster, famine, and disease; and to children living on Native American reservations in the U.S.

Our Prayer Shawl Ministry has made hundreds of shawls over the years. Each shawl is individually made with the recipient and their need ever before them as create every stitch. Shawls have brought comfort to those who grieve a loss, dealing with illness or a life challenge. However, shawls have been created for celebrations including weddings, baptisms, or other life moments. We are thankful for this ministry that expresses Jesus’ love in the warmth of each shawl.
