 Shopping FAQs

  • No appointment required during open hours.

  • Yes! To make an appointment for any other day or time please contact the church office at 540-822-5576 or officenjlc@gmail.com and a volunteer will be in touch within a few days.

  • We require no proof of residency or eligibility. We seek to work with our community based on the honor system. If you truly have a need, we want to help as we are able.

    We only ask for your last name for inventory purposes.

  • We only limit large staple items (like flour, sugar, oil, etc.) to one per month per household to ensure as many familes as possible can be served.

    • If you have children (or grandchildren) living with you who are enrolled in the Lovettsville School District, contact the Parent Liaison at your school who will work with you confidentially.

    • If you have a case worker through Loudoun County Mental Health or the Arc of Loudoun, contact your case worker who will work with us to arrange an appointment.

    • If you participate in a local faith community, contact your pastor who will work with you confidentially.

    • If you do not fall into any of these categories, contact New Jerusalem Lutheran Church directly. We can be reached at 540-822-5576 or by email at officenjlc@gmail.com. When you leave a message it may be a few days before a volunteer can respond, but there will be a response as soon as we are able.
