The Friends of Jean Webster is an organization dedicated to alleviating hunger and poverty in Atlantic City, New Jersey. Since 1986, we have operated Sister Jean's Kitchen, and now we have added a Pantry and Garden. Our work is guided by the spirit of Jean Webster, whose mission was simply and profoundly to feed the people. 

Sister Jean's Kitchen
Sister Jean's is known mostly for the KITCHEN that was formerly located on Pacific Avenue in Atlantic City. Friends of Jean Webster plan to reopen a kitchen to provide hot meals at the new facility at the former St. Monica's Parish Church as soon as necessary work is done to the building.

Take Out meals will be an option soon, and when the building project is done there will once again be seated, hot meals.

Sister Jean's Pantry
Sister Jean's Pantry at St. Monica's is currently providing food boxes on an emergency basis. This project is made possible through the Community Food Bank of New Jersey's Network Investment Initiative, made possible with lead funding from the New Jersey Pandemic Relief Fund and its partners.

Sister Jean's Garden
Open to the public, the vegetables and herbs are there for anyone to enjoy anytime and take what they need!
