SUPPORTING AGENCIES TO MEET THE NEED

Reaching more neighbors who are food insecure brings many challenges. Operational efficiency in our warehouse. A creative food sourcing operation to maximize financial resources. And an agency network that is fully equipped and capable to meet that need.

Our more than 200 agency partners are the centerpiece of providing food to neighbors in need. Which is why, with support from New Jersey’s Food and Hunger grant, we were excited to provide $387,000 to 23 agencies, enabling significant improvements to their infrastructure and operational capacity.

These grants to our partners have improved and expanded storage, enhanced warehouse operations, and improved technology to better manage inventory.

“This equipment grant has greatly helped Mighty Writers Camden. It has completely changed the entire look and capacity of our pantry. We are able to store more cold and frozen food and also have places to put our dry and non-food products,” said Derrick Gallashaw from Mighty Writers. “We don’t have to carry as much, and it has made our day-to-day operations run so much easier and smoother. We would like to express our profound gratitude for this grant, it has done wonders for our team.”
