Donations for the WIN (the Wayne Interfaith Network) food pantry are needed. WIN is a coalition of volunteers from local houses of worship and service organizations in the greater Wayne area  that provides non-perishable food and other basic necessities for area residents who are in need. Bags of non-perishable food and other basic necessities (paper goods, toiletry items, and cleaning products) can be brought to one of the drop off areas in town: the Wayne YMCA, 1 Pike Drive; donors can use the Jewish Family Service entrance; the Preakness branch of the Wayne Public Library; or the Wayne Municipal Building at 475 Valley Road.
