Nearly three weeks after Hurricane Ida caused severe flooding and damage across the state, NJ Spotlight News reported on the $1 million worth of ...cleanup that's still ongoing at our Hillside warehouse and spoke to two of our community partners that experienced enormous losses.

Jesus Is Lord food pantry director Elena Iglesias told them: "We had to throw everything out, it was totally damaged. We lost everything."

Through it all, #WeAreThere assisting with the pantries' recovery and feeding our neighbors who were displaced by the storm.
