community programs

Community Outreach Services (COS) provides several programs committed to uplifting the community. Each program is designed to feed, clothe and help bring together employers with those in need of work.

COS operates the only food pantry in the Riverside District of Paterson, New Jersey.

We help those who are seeking work by bringing them together with potential employers and we provide referral services to city and state agencies who can assist those in need.

Clothing donations are always welcome, and we regularly sponsor clothing drives.

We accept and distribute donated furniture to those in need.

COS sponsors events throughout the year, including seasonal and holiday food and clothing drives.
