The Food Pantry
Loving Our Cities
Loving Our Cities is a 501c3 community development corporation serving as the community engagement arm of The Perfecting Church with a mission to enhance the quality of life where we live, work, serve and worship. Inspired by a guiding principle that “Church is not a building,” Loving Our Cities seeks to mobilize people and partners to “Be the Church” in addition to attending one by addressing needs in marginalized communities locally and abroad.
Since our founding, Loving Our Cities has proudly partnered with the Food Bank of South Jersey to eliminate hunger in our region by granting access to healthy food necessary to thrive in life and in community.
