Wendell and Trish Scott are tremendous supporters of the fight against hunger. The couple became monthly donors to CFBNJ at the start of the ...pandemic, when they saw images in the news of long lines of cars waiting to receive food assistance.
As members of CFBNJ’s Sustainers Circle for monthly donors, they help make it possible for the organization to plan for the year ahead — amplifying existing programs, launching new initiatives, and preparing for emergencies. Their generosity gives the FoodBank steady and predictable income to rely on.
“We recognize that the FoodBank serves a continuing need, so it is most meaningful for us to provide continuing support,” they said. “A monthly donation really makes sense to us.”
