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 eight hundred 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 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.
Over 33 million Americans are food insecure, which means they don’t know if they have enough to feed themselves and their families. More than 725,000 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.

At 62 years old, Raymond is trying to stay spry – and positive.
“I’ve got arthritis in both my knees,” he said. “But I try to ...work out when I can.”
After facing homelessness, Raymond recently moved into his own place – with a small gym in the complex.
He last worked in 2021 at a maintenance job in Jersey City. But because of his knees, he’s now on disability. And needs a little extra help with food.
“I get $96 per month in SNAP benefits,” he said. “And that helps.”
When his SNAP benefits (formerly food stamps) run out, he visits St. James Social Service Corporation, a CFBNJ community partner in Newark.
“I get fresh produce, chicken, fish and a lot more,” he said. “It helps to fill the gaps.”
For CFBNJ and New Jerseyans in need, 2024 looks bright because of YOU! Thanks to the generous support of our donors, we raised enough funds over the ...holiday season to provide at least 2.5 million nutritious meals. Together, we can accomplish so much towards a hunger-free Garden State.
🚨Tell your legislators that WIC, the Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants and Children, needs more funding in the new year! ...
In just a few weeks, support for the federal program is set to expire. And as rising food prices and increasing demand have eaten into the WIC budget, just maintaining funding at last year's level won't be enough. Without sufficient funds, postpartum women and children over the age of one would be the first groups turned away from receiving benefits.
"The fact that more money is needed is a reflection of need. As we all know, food pantries and soup kitchens can't provide the kind of services that something like a WIC program or a SNAP program can provide," said Adele LaTourette, CFBNJ's Senior Director of Policy & Advocacy.
