CFBNJ’s History
The Community FoodBank of New Jersey, a member of Feeding America®, has been delivering food, help, and hope across the state for over 45 years. We got our start in the back of our founder’s station wagon in downtown Newark and have since grown into the largest anti-hunger and anti-poverty organization in New Jersey, with facilities in Hillside and Egg Harbor Township.
About CFBNJ
Our more than 200 employees fight hunger every day. Last year, the FoodBank provided nutritious food for over 90 million meals through our network of more than 800 community partners, including pantries, soup kitchens, mobile pantries, and child and senior feeding programs. We inspire healthy lifestyles through SNAP application assistance and nutrition education classes that provide practical information on nutrition, cooking, food safety, and physical activity. The FoodBank also seeks to provide long-term solutions to the problem of hunger through workforce development initiatives.
