Hope is Here
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.
Food & Nutrition Programs
More than eight hundred partners – including food pantries, soup kitchens and shelters – ensure that nutritious food is available to families in need year-round.
Resource Access Programs
We make sure everyone eligible for government benefits gets them by providing SNAP application assistance in our communities.
Workforce Development
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.
Our Results
38 million Americans are food insecure, which means they don’t know if they have enough to feed themselves and their families. About 800,000 live right here in New Jersey. Together, we can end hunger.
24
million pounds of healthy produce distributed each year
85
million meals provided every year
17000
volunteer visits annually

The need for food across our state is still sky-high, but donations are declining even as prices for food and fuel are on the rise. Our annual budget... deadline is TODAY.
To help close the gap and continue to reach as many seniors, children, and other New Jerseyans as possible this summer, we’ve set an ambitious goal to raise $50,000 by the end of the day today.
Please make your most generous gift, and it will be MATCHED, dollar-for-dollar: https://www.cfbnj.org?form=fb063022eofyorganic
