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 14-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.

Jesus Is Lord food pantry director Elena Iglesias told them: "We had to throw everything out, it was totally damaged. We lost everything."
Through it all, #WeAreThere assisting with the pantries' recovery and feeding our neighbors who were displaced by the storm.
The largest food bank in NJ was hit hard in Tropical Storm Ida; some pantries were “wiped out.” They're keeping going while rebuilding.
