Aldersgate Outreach Community Center (AOCC)
562 Ryders Lane, East Brunswick, NJ 08816
AOCC is a major outreach of Aldersgate UMC. It includes a number of components. First, there is a Food Bank which provides food to hundreds of families each month. Clients of the Food Bank are vetted by Social Service agencies in Middlesex County. Also, there is a Thrift Shop which sells clothing and other items at very low prices to needy families. The proceeds earned from the Thrift Shop are used to purchase food for the Food Bank.
Your Food Donations are appreciated.
