The Friends of Grace was formed to help reduce food insecurity in our community and provide members of Montclair’s unhoused community with human connection that goes beyond just handing out grab-and-go meals. We host monthly community meals in the Parish House of Saint John’s Episcopal Church.

We have a Little Free Pantry on the church property as part of the Friends of Grace ministry. It looks like this—empty—much of the time because it’s very popular! Anyone is welcome to contribute nonperishable food items (no glass jars, though, please).

Seasoned with Grace is part of Grace Presbyterian Church’s ministry to senior adults age 62 and above. Begun in the early 2000s, the ministry currently provides approximately 30 men and women with opportunities to fellowship and get to know one another better.
