We fight hunger and poverty in New Jersey by assisting those in need and seeking long-term solutions. We engage, educate and empower all sectors of society in the battle. We fill the emptiness caused by hunger with Food, Help and Hope.
More than eight hundred partners – including food pantries, soup kitchens and shelters – ensure that nutritious food is available to families in need year-round.
We make sure everyone eligible for government benefits gets them by providing SNAP application assistance in our communities.
Our job training programs seek to address the root cause of hunger – poverty – by providing those in need with interpersonal and professional skills to help them earn a living wage.
Over 33 million Americans are food insecure, which means they don’t know if they have enough to feed themselves and their families. More than 725,000 live right here in New Jersey. Together, we can end hunger.
Hunger exists in every community across New Jersey. Meet a few of the people you help us serve.

Though Tony and his wife both have full-time jobs, sometimes they need extra help from their local food pantry, Gateway Community Action Partnership ...in Bridgeton.
“Coming to the pantry is a very pleasant experience,” Tony said. “I appreciate it so much.”
Tony works in the transportation department for the local public schools, and his wife is a tax accountant, but the high cost of living in New Jersey makes it difficult for them to put food on the table. When Tony comes to the pantry, he looks for fresh staples that he and his wife wouldn’t otherwise be able to afford.
“We like vegetables, milk, and eggs,” he said. “And the pantry offers all of that.”
Cumberland County is New Jersey’s poorest county, with a median household income that’s 35% lower than the state’s. And Bridgeton, where Tony and his wife live, is rural, isolated, and particularly under-invested.
“Times are tough, especially here,” he said. “But this helps my wife and I a lot.”
