Parsippany Community Center's Food Pantry Receives Donation

PARSIPPANY, NJ - Shrimad Rajchandra Love and Care (SRLC) Parsippany Center closed out 2020 by participating in a food drive and donating 185 pounds of non-perishable food items to Parsippany Emergency Food Pantry.

Parsippany Community Center's food pantry, located on Knoll Road, helps meet the needs of local community by supplying food and essentials to help improve quality of life, officials said.

SRLC is an initiative of Shrimad Rajchandra Mission Dharampur to offer service and bring joy to the lives of the underserved sections of society. Inspired by Shrimad Rajchandraji and guided by Pujya Gurudevshri Rakeshbhai, SRLC’s holistic, multi-pronged community support and development programs are powered by genuine empathy, love and care of highly motivated volunteers, officials said.

"The year 2020 unfolded challenges that will mark history for coming generations, and yet the world demonstrated unity in diversity in these unprecedented times," officials noted. "This small act of kindness is a reflection of underlying values SRLC is passionate about. The volunteers and donors were privileged to contribute towards the local community's well being through this food drive."
