Virtual Programs (Off-site options)

The Elijah’s Promise Community Kitchen was started in August of 1989 and since its inception, the soup kitchen has grown from an organization of three paid staff and volunteers serving 35,000 meals a month to a multi-service organization of 20 paid staff and hundreds of volunteers serving over 375,000 free meals a year throughout central New Jersey.

Elijah’s Promise harnesses the power of food within our job training curriculum, social service assistance to individuals and families, community focused nutrition classes, social enterprise food businesses, and by continuing to serve free meals to our community. 

For decades, we have worked with our community and listened to their needs to build programming that addresses needs. Every day we strive to do more to change lives through the power of food – that is our promise to the Greater New Brunswick community.

Donations can be dropped off at 18 Neilson Street between 8-12:30pm Monday-Saturday including holidays. 

Elijah's Promise offers virtual volunteer opportunities that allow individuals to contribute to their mission remotely. These opportunities include preparing and donating items such as snack bags and hygiene kits, which are then distributed to those in need. Each donation is considered equivalent to 1.5 hours of volunteer service. This flexible approach enables volunteers to make a meaningful impact from their own homes, supporting Elijah's Promise in alleviating hunger and empowering lives within the community.​
