Make a Donation
Donations may be made to the food bank through one of 3 ways:
Food and non-perishable items – purchase items and drop them off. Donations of food items such as boxed pasta, potatoes, and rice, canned goods such as vegetables, fruit, meats and soups, tea and coffee, toiletry items including deodorant and shampoo, toilet paper, paper towels, and cleaning products are greatly appreciated.
Gift Cards – purchase gift cards to our local grocery stores, ShopRite/Weis/Walmart, and drop them off. (Please do not mail gift cards)
Monetary Donation – checks made out to Hillsborough CAN, and mailed to Hillsborough Township Community Assistance Network, 379 south Branch Road, Hillsborough, NJ 08844 or make a donation online.
Volunteers are always welcome in the Social Services Department. Community Assistance Network volunteers are needed to check expiration dates, sort groceries, prepare groceries for clients, inventory control, and to rotate the food supply. All volunteers must have a Municipal Volunteer Form on file. View/print the Municipal Volunteer Form or fill it out online.
First and foremost, please don’t hoard items. We all want our families to be protected, and not run out of items that are necessities. While preparing for disasters, please think of others that may not have the funds or storage area to “stock up” for weeks at a time, and need to make weekly trips to the store to obtain necessities. You should only need to stock up for 2-3 week period between trips to the store.
