About Us
Who We Are, What We Do
Organized among various churches in Woodbury, New Jersey, the Greater Woodbury Cooperative Ministries, Inc. (GWCM ) was founded by clergy and lay leaders to cooperate in local social ministries beyond the resources of any one of our faith communities.
We are an all-volunteer, IRS 501(c)(3) recognized not-for-profit charity, serving the City of Woodbury and the immediate surrounding NJ communities.
GWCM's food pantries are intended as emergency relief services, providing, in addition to food, guidance to clients in accessing the support of government and community assistance.
In addition to the food pantries, the GWCM is involved in other community projects including ecumenical worship services throughout the year, Vacation Bible School, a high school peace essay scholarship, a clothing closet, children's summer lunch box program, and our handy helpers who assist seniors and the disabled with household chores.
