The Community FoodBank of New Jersey’s inaugural 24-hour Pack-a-Thon was a great success! We are thrilled to have made such a difference in the span of one day.
A total of 275 people volunteered at Pack-a-Thon, packing 4,282 boxes of food and making 1,665 nutritious meals for New Jersey neighbors in need!
This is proof that, together, we can accomplish so much. CFBNJ experienced a 44% drop in volunteerism during the pandemic, and you stepped up to help.
But our work doesn’t end here. With 800,000 people in our state still struggling with hunger, I hope that you’ll spread the word about your positive experience this weekend and encourage others to volunteer, as well. Share photos of your Pack-a-Thon experience on social media and ask your friends and family to get involved in the fight against hunger!
Also, you can always sign up for another volunteer shift on our website. We still need your help!
Stay tuned for details about the next Pack-a-Thon!
