Community Foodbank of New Jersey

The Community FoodBank of New Jersey fights hunger and poverty in New Jersey by distributing 40 million pounds of food and groceries annually through its own programs and through its 1,100 member charities, including soup kitchens, food pantries, and homeless shelters. As part of the FoodBank's goal of ensuring that the food we provide is highly nutritional, the FoodBank founded the Fresh Produce Initiative in 2012. This initiative, a partnership between the FoodBank and the non-profit America's Grow-A-Row in Pittstown, N.J., is expected to provide 1 million pounds of fresh fruits and vegetables for distribution by the FoodBank in 2014. As part of this partnership, America's Grow-A-Row gives professionally developed, age-appropriate nutrition-education lessons, including a field trip to the farm, for approximately 500 children from the FoodBank's Kids Café program annually.
