In April at Essex County Branch Brook Park, previously the site of cheerful cherry blossom festivals, Kayla waited in her car early in the morning to get food assistance with her mom and brother. All three of them—like over a million others in our state—had been laid off from their jobs due to the pandemic. As they watched their savings accounts deplete, they worried about how they would afford to pay for housing and food – let alone college tuition for Kayla and her brother.

As the novel coronavirus broke out in our region, a perfect storm emerged within the emergency feeding network, resulting in increased demand, declines in donations of food, and disruptions to the charitable food assistance system’s operating model. Feeding America projects a 56% increase in New Jersey’s food insecurity rate as a direct result of the pandemic, higher than the expected increases nationwide and in neighboring states. This translates to an additional 430,000 New Jersey residents becoming food insecure–a total of 1.2 million food insecure residents.
