Take Action to Address Food Insecurity
There are so many ways you can get involved with us, and your support means we can get more food to New Jersey neighbors in need. 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 get 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 food bank.
Donate Food to CFBNJ
Today, nearly 1 million New Jerseyans still struggle to put food on their tables. 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.
