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 one thousand 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 free 15-week culinary and life skills program equips students with marketable skills to earn a living wage in the food service industry.
About 54 million Americans are food insecure, which means they don’t know if they have enough to feed themselves and their families. More than 1.2 million 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.

May is #OlderAmericansMonth. In New Jersey, about 100,000 seniors struggle with food insecurity and limited financial resources.
Sylvia, ...64, was a nurse at the local veterans’ hospital for over 40 years, but now she’s retired and doesn’t have enough to eat. She is grateful for her local pantry that helps her access the fresh fruits and vegetables that she needs to stay healthy and well.
“They help me a lot so that I’m never hungry again and no one else in my community is hungry,” she said.

“We don’t have the money that we need to buy the right food, like meat and especially the healthy foods like vegetables or fruits,” said ...Gabriella, pictured here with her son Gabriel, who has a heart condition.
While Gabriella’s husband works full-time as a chef at a local restaurant, she divides her days between caring for Gabriel and working at her part-time job.
On Mother's Day, we recognize all of the selfless women who have assumed the enormous responsibility of motherhood. Moms like Gabriella should not have to skip meals to feed their children or make difficult decisions between buying hygiene items and paying other bills.
