A MILESTONE MOMENT: JUNE 24

On June 24, the Food Bank of South Jersey marked its official 40th anniversary by gathering longtime supporters and new friends to reflect on our journey – and look ahead.

A highlight of the event was the unveiling of our new Center for Health, Wellness, and Nutrition. From the beginning, we’ve recognized the link between hunger and health. This new space will help our community learn, grow, and thrive.

We also shared a transformational announcement: a $1.5 million gift from The Campbell’s Foundation to support the Center and our mission. As one of our earliest partners, Campbell’s continues to show its deep commitment to nourishing South Jersey.

We heard powerful reflections, shared community stories, and celebrated a shared mission. Thank you to all who joined us; we’re excited to build the next chapter together.
