Emergency
Food Distributions
In New Jersey
The Community FoodBank of New Jersey is actively coordinating emergency food distributions across the 11 counties we directly serve to ensure that everyone in our communities has access to nutritious food during this critical time.
As families face challenges from rising costs, delayed SNAP benefits, and government workers missing paychecks, we are working with local partners, volunteers, and community organizations to provide immediate relief to those in need.
As part of these distributions, participants will be asked to provide either a government-issued ID or a SNAP EBT card. Below, you’ll find up-to-date information on emergency food distribution sites by county, including dates, times, and locations. If you are unable to attend one of these events, please click here to visit our Find Food page for additional resources and local pantry information.
We are here to help—because no one in New Jersey should go hungry.
