Feeding South Jersey for 36 years.
About us
The Food Bank of South Jersey provides food to people in need, delivers health and wellness programs, and designs sustainable solutions to help people improve their lives. We operate on one simple premise: food should not be wasted when hungry people are in our midst. From this truth, FBSJ has built an effective food distribution program that annually links over 12 million pounds of food with more than 250 charitable food providers, such as food pantries, soup kitchens and emergency shelters. The Food Bank of South Jersey is the largest source of government and non-government food assistance in South Jersey and is the largest agency in South Jersey. Our mission is to eliminate hunger and malnutrition by ensuring that wholesome surplus food reaches people in need. Our centralized food donation and distribution system is a vital community link ensuring that low-income and disadvantaged residents can access free groceries and wholesome meals from a charitable food provider in their neighborhood.

"Without the donated food, the boys wouldn’t go hungry, but they wouldn’t have as good a diet, she said. Caldwell said she’s thankful for the food bank and doesn’t have any qualms about asking for help. 'I’ve worked all my life, I’m retired now, and you gotta do what you gotta do,' she said."
"The Food Bank of South Jersey is currently feeding about 170,000 people a month, up from 125,000 in 2022. .... More people are now turning to food banks and pantries to make ends meet because 'rent eats first,' food-aid officials say."

Shout-out to Sol, who led us through a presentation on food insecurity in the LGBTQ+ community and being a good ally. June may have passed, but FBSJ believes in fostering an inclusive and supportive environment for everyone year-round. There is room for all at our table. #bettertogether #changehungersj #foodbankFORsouthjersey
