The Community FoodBank of New Jersey (CFBNJ) is the largest anti-hunger organization in New Jersey, established over 45 years ago. As a leading non-profit in the state, CFBNJ is dedicated to fighting hunger and poverty by providing assistance to those in need and seeking long-term solutions. CFBNJ operates from two warehouse facilities in Hillside and Egg Harbor Township, with a combined size equal to five football fields, serving over 800 programs and community partners across 15 counties.

Their comprehensive approach includes packaging food orders for local soup kitchens and food pantries, purchasing and collecting food for distribution, assisting people in need with SNAP applications, and reaching communities with limited resources through mobile pantries. Last year alone, CFBNJ distributed food for over 86 million meals, with 34% of it being fresh produce. They address hunger as a health issue by providing fruits and vegetables, nutrition education, and medical screenings to inspire positive lifestyles.

CFBNJ also offers various opportunities for community members to engage in their mission through volunteer programs, which resulted in over 27,000 volunteer visits, equivalent to the work of 31 full-time employees. Join CFBNJ in their mission to fight hunger and poverty in New Jersey and make a positive impact on the lives of those in need.
