Life At Community FoodBank Of New Jersey
Ali Stefanik
Assistant Director, Neighbor Experience
CFBNJ 2024 Founders Award Winner
“Being honored by those who are resolute in the fight to end hunger in New Jersey, I am filled with a profound sense of purpose, for these dedicated individuals not only see me, but recognize in me a commitment to live out our shared values. As a scrappy queer kid, I grew up feeling the weight of being an outsider. The deep sense of belonging and community that I feel at CFBNJ fuels my daily fight against hunger. I am because we all are.”
Michael Meyer
Director of Operations
CFBNJ 2024 Compassion Award Winner
“To truly be compassionate, you have to make the attempt to see the world from another person’s vantage point. Unfortunately, you may see a lot suffering from that alternate point of view. Compassion motivates a person to take action and attempt to do something to alleviate suffering. That’s what our founder, Kathleen DiChiara, stood for and that’s why 50 years later the CFBNJ is still carrying out the mission of helping our neighbors in need.”
