This is an opportunity to support an important cause while spending time with other NJSWC members.

The Community FoodBank of New Jersey is the state’s largest anti-hunger organization. It distributes food to more than 800 community partners across New Jersey, including food pantries, soup kitchens, and programs that serve children and seniors. Volunteers play an essential role in helping CFBNJ carry out this work. Nearly 1.1 million people in New Jersey experience food insecurity, including almost 200,000 children.

Volunteer activities may involve sorting food, assembling food boxes, packing pasta, or prepping food to be distributed to network partners and members of the community in our Hillside warehouse.
