Now More Than Ever

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. Over 650,000 live right here in New Jersey. Together, we can end hunger.

35

million pounds of healthy produce distributed each year

85

million meals provided every year

(1/3) On #VeteransDay and every day, CFBNJ honors those who have served. We work to make it easier for veterans & active-duty military to receive... the help they need.

Service members and their families often experience unique challenges that make them more susceptible to hunger.

On #VeteransDay and every day, CFBNJ honors all those who have served. We work to make it easier for veterans and active-duty military members to ...receive the help that they need.

Service members and their families often experience unique challenges that make them more susceptible to hunger:

🔴 Limited income: Some active-duty military members make less than $40,000 yearly. With a lower income, it can be challenging to afford food, especially while supporting a family.

⚪️ Barriers to consistent work: Service members are often required to move from base to base, making it difficult for their spouses to maintain consistent work. This may leave the family to rely on the single income of the service member.

🔵 Lack of access to federal food assistance: Even though many military members and their families face hunger, very few qualify for federal food assistance programs, like SNAP.

Can we tempt you with one of these limited edition desserts from our friends at Harvest Restaurant Group? Through the month of November, proceeds ...from these sweet treats will benefit CFBNJ and our mission to end hunger in New Jersey.

Each Harvest restaurant is offering one of two special desserts: warm pumpkin butter cake with cranberry gelato and whipped cream or warm pumpkin bread pudding with maple walnut ice cream. Enjoy them with our gratitude!

At last night's @NJDevils game, @FoodBankCarlos attempted (and made!) a center ice shot to secure a donation of 1,500 Thanksgiving turkeys from ...our friends at @StopandShop. This special moment shed light on hunger in NJ & the need for public support.

At last night's New Jersey Devils game, CFBNJ President & CEO Carlos Rodriguez attempted (and made!) a center ice shot to secure a donation ...of 1,500 Thanksgiving turkeys from our friends at Stop & Shop. Though the turkeys were always going to be ours - whether Carlos made the shot or not - this special moment shed light on hunger in New Jersey and the need for public support.

Thank you to Stop & Shop and the Devils for all that you do to support our mission - during the holiday season and all year long!

Parents and caregivers, are your children active? If so, great! If not, here is an activity that might work for them. It is recommended that children... exercise for 60 minutes a day! #WellnessWednesday https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yBMGk_qFbng
