Reacting with stunned anger, many clients of Touch New Jersey Food Pantry Inc. at Sacred Heart Roman Catholic Church in Mount Ephraim this week criticized a recent Diocese of Camden decision that would shut the facility to enlarge the church parking lot.

"That's crazy, to knock it down for parking," George Side, 37, a laid-off construction worker from Gloucester City, said outside the pantry on Wednesday as he waited to collect food. "They're feeding people out here. This is horrible." Deanna Porro, 34, said she, her husband, and their three children had relied heavily on Touch New Jersey since she was laid off recently as a department manager at a Wal-Mart and her husband's hours as a pipefitter were cut back.
