St. Joseph’s Parish collects non-perishable food items, toiletries and cleaning supplies on a continual basis for our home community of Hillsborough and Manville.
You may drop off your donations of food by placing them in the gray church van in the parish parking lot.
The community of Hillsborough and Manville thanks you!

St. Joseph collects food for five local food banks: The Hillsborough Community Assistance Network (CAN), Franklin Township, Somerset County, Manville Food Bank through Chris the Redeemer, and Feeding Hands of Somerville. Food Bank ministry volunteers deliver the van filled with food to a food bank per week. We do not collect frozen goods, only canned and packaged foods.
