Please pray We ask that you pray for the ministry
of North Porch Heavenly Father, you sent your own Son into this world. We thank you for the lives of all children entrusted to our care. Help us to remember that we are all your children, and so to love and nurture them, that they may attain to that full stature intended for them in your eternal Kingdom; for the sake of your dear Son, Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

Welcome
The North Porch Women and Infants' Centers provide emergency seven-day supplies of formula, baby food, diapers, clothing, bed linens and other supplies for needy mothers and infants in the Newark, Paterson, Dover and Clifton areas of northern New Jersey. The name reflects the custom of the ancient church to regard the "north porch" as a refuge and gathering place for women. We operate centers in Newark, Paterson, Dover
and, beginning in Summer 2008, Clifton. North Porch provides assistance only
through referrals. These come from a number of social agencies with which North
Porch has cooperative agreements and from some area churches. North Porch serves
nearly 1,100 mothers and their babies each year through the three centers. Currently the centers provide emergency service, through referral, for women with children between the ages of birth and three years. North Porch dispenses diapers, formula, milk, baby food, clothing and bed linens. The centers provide a comfortable place for women who come seeking assistance. Our most urgent needs are listed below, or click on Supplies to see lists of our ongoing needs.
