Governor Phil Murphy is LIVE signing legistlation to increase New Jersey's minimum SNAP benefit from $50 to $95.

CFBNJ commends our ...state's lawmakers. As federal emergency allotments come to an end, this measure ensures permanently expanded household budgets for the most vulnerable on SNAP, continuing our state's effort as a nationwide leader on food insecurity.

This is another step in the right direction as we work together to ensure that all of our neighbors have access to nutritious food.

This year, our annual fundraiser Blue Jean Ball will take place on Thursday, May 18, 2023, at Hudson House in Jersey City. The event will celebrate ...our mission to provide food, help, and hope - CFBNJ's three pillars represented by awards honoring those who have gone above and beyond for New Jersey families in need.

Honoring the bounty of our Garden State and a visionary partnership, New Jersey Department of Agriculture Secretary Doug Fisher will receive the FOOD Award. The HELP Award will be presented to Roby and Josh Weinreich for their decades of personal commitment and leadership, raising awareness and pandemic response. The HOPE Award will be shared with several of our partners that provide essential fresh produce and inspire healthy and positive lifestyles for our neighbors in need.

Along with donating your time, donating food is another powerful way to support the fight against hunger. Prior to the pandemic, the majority of food... CFBNJ distributed was donated, but that is no longer true. We now have to purchase more food to meet the increased need.

That's why when you visit us to volunteer, any food items that you can bring are so greatly appreciated!

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.”
