Take Action to Fight Food Insecurity
There are so many ways you can get involved with us, and your support means we can get more food to hungry neighbors in New Jersey. There’s something for everyone who wants to help CFBNJ. Get started today!
Donate Money to CFBNJ
For every $1 you donate to CFBNJ, we can provide 3 meals to our neighbors in need, and for every $3, we can purchase 6 diapers. When you donate money to CFBNJ, you give us the freedom to source through back-end and wholesale partnerships that utilize more out of your money, while also fueling our programs that are geared towards specific needs such as our child, senior, and family nutrition programs, Hunger as a Health Issue programs, and Hygiene Initiatives. Learn more about why you should donate money to a foodbank.
Donate Food to CFBNJ
Today, nearly 675,000 New Jerseyans in our 15-county service area still struggle to put food on their table. When you, your community, or your business choose to donate food to CFBNJ, you directly serve our neighbors. Whether collecting non-perishable foods or personal necessities such as diapers and period supplies, every contribution matters. You can host a food drive virtually or in-person – whichever is most convenient for you and your community. View more to see how you can participate and give food today.

Volunteer at CFBNJ
Both our Hillside and Egg Harbor Township warehouses are open for volunteers! Volunteers may sign up for a shift through our online volunteer signup portal and typically spend 2-3 hours sorting through food or assembling Kids Cafe Meals, Family Packs, or Emergency Meal Kits. For more dedicated volunteers, consider our Care Crew program!
