Denville
The Denville Social Services Department is the “helping hand” of the Township of Denville. Our goal is to work with the citizens of Denville to enhance their lives through social service programs and respond to local needs as they arise. Our programs touch all age groups, from our infant children to our senior citizens.
Through our food pantry, we provide emergency food for needy individuals and families. The food pantry is primarily supported by the generous donations of the people of Denville. We receive donations of non-perishable foods regularly through food drives run by schools, churches, businesses, and service organizations, as well as from concerned individuals.
Throughout the year, we run additional programs for the benefit of those in need in the community. These programs include but are not limited to, Back-To-School Drive, Thanksgiving Food Drive, Holiday Baskets, and Adopt-A-Family. All of these programs are supported by dedicated volunteers who work tirelessly to help meet the needs of our community.
We are a liaison for Denville Senior Citizens working with them to enhance local services for seniors and promote awareness of the services available. We also coordinate with additional Township services such as Meals-on-Wheels and Dial-A-Ride to promote their programs and ensure accessibility to those in need.
Social services also provide rental assistance and help with heating and energy costs to individuals and families experiencing financial distress. We also provide assistance for children’s summer recreation programs hosted by the Township. Please note: income verification for these types of assistance is required.
To apply for general assistance or food stamps, please contact the Office of Temporary Assistance at 340 West Hanover Avenue, Morristown, NJ 07960, or call (973) 326-7800.
