Every first Wednesday of each month (this week!) we host our Community Distribution providing hundreds of families with fresh produce because of our partnership with Seashore Fruit & Produce Co. and Community FoodBank of New Jersey! It's made possible with our local partnerships First Baptist Church of Lincoln Gardens, Greater Somerset County YMCA, and Franklin Township Police Department's Community Relations Bureau. It truly takes a village to provide more and more access to delicious and nutritious food. #foodbank #fooddistribution #foodequity #foodinequity #partnerships #bettertogether

Let’s continue to support and uplift those who fight against hunger every day.

Congratulations to all the awardees! The Tepper Foundation and New Jersey Office of the Food Security Advocate are wonderful supporters to the food security system in our great state of New Jersey. Thank you for all the work you do!
Each year, the federal government grants millions of dollars towards food and nutrition, but many nonprofits don’t have the time or capacity to navigate the complex application process. We joined forces with the New Jersey Office of the Food Security Advocate and other funders across the state to launch a collaborative fund to address that. The Food Security Access Fund is a cross-sector initiative to help nonprofits build capacity and secure more public grants to strengthen the New Jersey food system and address food insecurity. https://lnkd.in/e7U9sF83
