A Message From One of Our Agency Partners

A Message From One of Our Agency Partners https://cfbnj.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/General-Blog-Header-with-Logo.jpg 1280 550 CFBNJ CFBNJ https://cfbnj.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/General-Blog-Header-with-Logo.jpg April 1, 2020 February 6, 2024

Our agency partners, like James of the Elizabethport Presbyterian Center and his team of staff and volunteers, are the boots on the ground enabling CFBNJ to reach our struggling neighbors during the most difficult times of their lives. And now, in the midst of the COVID-19 crisis, their jobs are more important than ever. Give today to help us keep our agencies stocked with nutritious food.

Recent executive orders in New Jersey have mandated the closure of schools and the shuttering of businesses considered non-essential, encouraging all residents to stay home in an unprecedented effort to stop the spread of COVID-19.

So many of us have the luxury of being able to visit the grocery store to ensure food as we work from home and share warm dinners with family at night. But for nearly 900,000 of our neighbors who face food insecurity, and for those who are newly struggling due to the economic impacts of COVID-19, stocking up, or even purchasing any food at all, may not be an option. In fact, just last week, more than 150,000 people in our state filed for unemployment claims.

During my tenure as the head of operations at Food Bank for New York City, Superstorm Sandy struck, so I’ve experienced firsthand the need for food banks to spring into action during a large-scale emergency.

Now, as the VP of Operations at CFBNJ, my job is to ensure help for neighbors in need who are suffering from the economic impact of COVID-19. The small business owner facing the pain of uncertainty, wondering when, or even if, she’ll be able to reopen. The desperate single father missing a paycheck from his hourly wage job. The vulnerable child whose stomach groans without a warm school lunch, lacking access to his only reliable source of food.
