    CFBNJ’s Programs

    The Community FoodBank of New Jersey provides food for people in need while striving to end hunger in our state. We do this by working with a large network of more than 800 community partners, including food pantries, soup kitchens and shelters, to bring food to our food insecure neighbors.

    While food distribution is central to our mission, we also lead a number of important programs aimed at addressing the root causes of hunger for people of all ages and backgrounds.

    Food for Youth and College Students

    CFBNJ’s Child Nutrition and College Pantry Programs ensure that kids and young adults at risk of hunger have access to nutritious meals all year long. Our programs include after-school meals at Kids Cafes, Family Packs for the weekend, the Summer Food Service Program, and the College Food 
Pantry Program.

    Food for Older Adults

    Older adults are especially susceptible to hunger and its health implications. We distribute boxes packed with nutritious food to thousands of seniors every month to help them eat well.

    Health Partnerships

    In our work to address hunger as a health issue, we continue to expand our innovative programs that provide our hungry neighbors with more fresh and nutritious food, nutrition education, and medical screenings. About one third of all food we distribute is fresh produce.

    Grocery
    Food Rescue

    In America, about 108 billion pounds of food is wasted each year. We rescue millions of pounds of perfectly good, nutritious food through our supermarket gleaning program and work with state lawmakers to find long-term solutions to food waste in New Jersey.

    Nutrition Education

    Through NJ SNAP Ed, CFBNJ provides free nutrition education workshops that help neighbors choose healthy food on a budget and make physical activity part of their lives.

    Job Training

    CFBNJ's no-cost, "on the job" training programs are in place to provide students with interpersonal and professional skills that will help them earn a livable wage.

    SNAP Assistance for Neighbors in Need

    Our multi-lingual team is dedicated to ensuring New Jersey families get the assistance they need for their households to thrive. CFBNJ's SNAP Navigators provide free, in-person SNAP application assistance, as well as support with other food benefits such as WIC and school meals, to your community.

    Diapers & Hygiene Programs

    At CFBNJ, we believe proper hygiene is crucial for maintaining good health and prevening the spread of disease. That's why we're proud to offer a range of hygiene programs in NJ that are designed specifically for schools and communities.
