Today, we, along with Food Bank of South Jersey, Fulfill, Mercer Street Friends, and Norwescap New Jersey, proudly hosted Feeding New Jersey 2023, ...the first-ever statewide conference for community partners.
Nearly 300 representatives from food pantries, soup kitchens, and other local hunger-relief organizations came together to learn, network, and collaborate towards a hunger-free Garden State.
The program featured an advocacy panel with all five food banks’ CEOs, addresses from Speaker Craig J. Coughlin and Director of the Office of the Food Security Advocate Mark Dinglasan, peer-to-peer breakout sessions, a networking lunch, a town hall on operational excellence, and concluding remarks from Feeding America CEO Claire Babineaux-Fontenot.
Thank you to all of the attendees, speakers, and sponsors who made this such an incredible day! Feeding New Jersey 2023 was generously supported by Instacart, KarryKlean, and DoorDash.
