In New Jersey nearly 1.1 million people struggle with food insecurity. Help our hungry neighbors this Thanksgiving.
In partnership with CBS New York, last year’s Turkey Drive gathered over 35,000 pounds of food and 4,700 turkeys for our neighbors in need.

Gobble Gobble Give!
For many of us, the holidays just aren’t the holidays without the special foods that grace our tables year after year. Thanksgiving means green beans, pumpkin pie, and a beautiful turkey at the center of the table.
But right now 1 in 9 of our New Jersey neighbors has trouble affording enough to eat every day, much less a special holiday feast.
Make a special generous gift right now to help make sure nourishing food is there for a kid at school, a senior on a fixed income, or any of our neighbors facing tough times.
