The Community FoodBank of New Jersey, a member of Feeding America, is the largest foodbank in New Jersey. The CFBNJ mission is to fight hunger and poverty in New Jersey by assisting those in need and seeking long-term solutions. Last year, we distributed enough food for over 86 million meals, 34% of which was fresh produce, and facilitated SNAP applications for nearly 2,000 households.
How CFBNJ Works
CFBNJ collects food and donations, sorts and packages at our warehouses, and supplies these necessities to over 800 community partners, who then distribute food to New Jersey neighbors in need. From sourcing to storing and getting the food into the hands of our neighbors, our FoodBank is a complex storage and distribution system filled with many vital positions and team members that make it all happen. Together, our team works to provide healthy and critical resources to the community.
