The Community Food Bank of New Jersey (CFBNJ), a member of Feeding America, distributes food, provides education and training, develops programs to help hungry people throughout the state, and engages all sectors of society in this mission. More than 4.7 million times a year, someone in need is fed by our network of partner charities. With the help of so many caring individuals, corporations, foundations, houses of worship, schools and community groups, we have distributed some 600 million pounds of food valued at roughly $1 billion. With your help we give hungry people in New Jersey FOOD. HELP. HOPE.
REPLENISH Established in 1994, REPLENISH aims to help achieve food security and offer access to nutritionally sufficient food and essential supplies for all Middlesex County residents. The program, overseen by the Middlesex County Department of Community Services with the support of the Board of County Commissioners, is a collaborative effort involving various partnerships committed to eradicating hunger. Through REPLENISH, local governments, nonprofit agencies, businesses, schools, community food pantries, food banks, soup kitchens, and houses of worship unite to collectively pursue our mission. In 2023, REPLENISH received and distributed over 5.2 million pounds of food including fresh produce, dairy, and meat products to over 160 partners. We wish to thank the volunteers and staff who have given their time, energy, and talents over the last 30 years. Without them, none of this would be possible.
