Community FoodBank of New Jersey Nutrition Policy
In alignment with our 2024-2027 strategic plan, CFBNJ has developed an organization-wide nutrition policy. This policy serves as a clear communication tool, ensuring our staff, partners, neighbors, suppliers, and donors all understand our intentions and decision-making around the food we provide.
At the heart of this policy are three core pillars:
- Nutritional Value: We are committed to offering food choices that provide nutritional benefits and support the overall health of our community.
- Health Considerations: We recognize the diverse health needs and dietary requirements of our neighbors and will strive to provide options tailored to these needs.
- Cultural Considerations and Food Preferences: Listening to and understanding the cultural backgrounds and food preferences of those we serve will be a key factor in shaping our inventory and distribution.
By aligning our food offerings with these principles, we strive to have a positive and lasting impact on our community’s well-being. This nutrition policy will guide our decisions and ensure we remain true to our mission of providing nourishing, accessible, and dignified food choices for all.
