Each year we assist over 1500 partner agencies, distributing over 39 million pounds of food in 18 New Jersey counties, helping to feed 900,000 people. Since incorporating in 1982, we have distributed over 400 million pounds of food and groceries valued at nearly 1 billion dollars.
We are making a difference!
