Community Resources

In our community there are many needs, and we receive multiple calls a week at the Church asking for assistance that we are unfortunately unable to meet. The best thing we have to offer as a Church is the hope that God gives us! This looks like offering our prayer, time and friendship to each other. Which is needed after the immediate crisis goes away and is actually far more important than we often are able to realize in the moment. In the context of those relationships we’ve seen radical generosity, and life change. But when our mind and heart isn’t right and we are isolated again we go right back to where we were before without that inner transformation and community around us to support us.
Here is a growing list of resources (some we organize as a Church, others are ministries that trusted friends lead, as well as public programs) to help people in need that we often use. We hope you can use the resources yourself or save this page as a reference to point other people you meet in need. If you know of a resource you’d like to see added to the list, please email us at info@epiphanygcity.com. Resources are regularly changing, it’s also a good idea to call the New Jersey state hotline at 2-1-1 to find essential community services.
Every resource listed below members of our church have utilized in the past and found helpful.
