Growing Hope · Nourishing Hearts
Fresh food, direct giving, community growing, and practical compassion for neighbors throughout New Jersey.
Our regular Tuesday distributions are finished for the year. If collard greens, mustard greens, or another late harvest becomes available, we will post a special notice here. Please do not travel to Hancock Lane unless a new pickup notice is posted. We thank God for every seed, volunteer, donor, and neighbor who helped make this season possible.

Founded by JoAnn and Michael Conwell in 2008, Grateful Hearts Givings NJ Nonprofit provides free, nutritious food—including locally grown vegetables—to seniors, families, and neighbors in need. What began as a faith-led Thanksgiving outreach grew into year-round food support, community gardening, and practical education.
Fresh from the gardenWhat we do
We gather and grow nourishing food, then place it directly into the hands of seniors and families.
Our community garden turns seeds, volunteer care, and neighborhood support into fresh produce.
We teach practical ways to grow organic, non-GMO vegetables in compact mobile containers—even with limited space.
Need food?
Our assistance is strictly for food and depends on availability. Pickup is seasonal, first come, first served, while supplies last. Check the Live Feed near the top of this page—especially Tuesday mornings—before traveling because weather or availability may change the schedule.
