Frequently Asked Questions
Please reach us at hello@loveofneighbor.org if you cannot find an answer to your question.
The primary goal of the Love of Neighbor Project is to reduce poverty, restore dignity, and improve the quality of life for individuals and families in need — while creating meaningful opportunities for others to serve with compassion and purpose.
The Love of Neighbor Project was originally inspired and supported within the Cathedral Basilica community, and we remain deeply grateful for that foundation. Today, we are an independent 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, operating separately from the Cathedral, which allows us to expand our outreach and deepen our impact across Newark and beyond.
That said, we are honored to continue one of our cornerstone initiatives — the Bread From Heaven Food Exchange — on the third Sunday of every month at the Cathedral, run entirely by LONP volunteers. It is a beautiful example of ongoing community partnership rooted in faith and service.
Love of Neighbor Project has partnerships with organizations that offers a wide range of programs, including job training, financial assistance, and housing support. Please email us your needs and we can partner you up with an organization that may be able to help.
Love of Neighbor Project is funded through donations from individuals, corporations, and grants from foundations. Please see above to learn more about how you can support our mission.
Donors are encouraged to bring the following non-perishable food items for the food drive:
- Canned Goods: Soups, vegetables, beans, fruits, tuna, and chicken.
- Dry Goods: Pasta, rice, lentils, cereal, and oatmeal.
- Shelf-Stable Proteins: Peanut butter, almond butter, canned or powdered milk.
- Snacks: Granola bars, crackers, trail mix, and dried fruit.
- Pantry Staples: Cooking oil, sugar, flour, spices, and instant coffee or tea.
Please ensure all items are unopened, unexpired, and easy to distribute. Thank you for helping us serve those in need!
Yes! We offer simple, budget-friendly recipe cards designed to make shopping and cooking easy and affordable. Many of the ingredients can be found at local dollar stores or neighborhood markets.
You can print the recipes from our website, or pick them up already stapled to a shopping bag at our events. Simply fill the bag with the listed ingredients and bring it to our Bread From Heaven Food Exchange, held every third Sunday. It’s a meaningful way to give, with guidance every step of the way.
