The food pantry will happily accept donations of hams





  • It's Time to Dine! HOME of Somerset County will host a dine-to-donate fundraiser at Mannion’s Pub & Restaurant in Somerville on Friday, April 10, 2026. Community members are invited to dine throughout the day and present the HOME fundraiser certificate. Mannion’s will donate 20% of all sales — including lunch, dinner, take-out and bar tabs — to support HOME’s work assisting individuals and families experiencing housing instability in Somerset County. The certificate can be printed or shown on a phone and is available here. This event is open to the public.

Thank you and Happy Easter!

The pantry is in need of

egg cartons




Every week on numerous days food is brought to the PCC from nearby grocery stores and from organizations that glean food from nearby grocery stores and share it with us. That food makes its way to us in the cars of our church members. Once it arrives, it is sorted and placed in refrigerators and freezers as needed or stored on various racks and shelves if shelf stable. The food is then placed on tables Saturday and Sunday for distribution when the Food Pantry opens Sunday afternoon. There is currently a weekly need for the three times listed above.


It’s not too late to volunteer!


If available to help, please contact D’Maris Dempsey at: joedm88msn.com

PLEASE CONTINUE TO BRING

YOUR PLASTIC TO CHURCH


WE ARE SAVING FOR A BENCH FOR SANCTUARY+SEED


All paper labels must be cut off Amazon bags


It must be soft, stretchable plastic.

If it crinkles, it can't be recycled.


No cat or dog food bags please

Earth Stewardship is our responsibility as we collectively care for creation. We recognize the enormous and potentially devastating impact plastics have on our environment. One small way we can make a difference is the NexTrex Plastic Film Recycling Program.


BBPC will be collecting single-use plastics for recycling. We will partner with NexTrex to earn a park bench with our recycled plastic. To earn the bench for S+S we need to collect 1000 pounds of plastic by December, 2026.


We encourage you to bring your plastics to BBPC, and drop them in the marked box. Plastic MUST be “clean”, dry, and free of food/waste residue. We cannot accept plastic that is filled with trash, waste, or is dirty.


If you have questions regarding what can and cannot be recycled, please see below or click the link below to go to the NexTrex website:
