Through our core, Feed More program, we solicited more than 11 million pounds of surplus food in 2018 from local, regional and national food sources. The food is then transported to our 65,000 square foot warehouse in Pennsauken. More than 150 emergency feeding programs access this food daily to meet the food needs of approximately 137,000 people living in food-insecure households in communities across Burlington, Camden, Gloucester, and Salem counties.
Additionally, our mobile pantry, the Hope Mobile, carries truckloads of food to “food deserts” – those areas that lack access to a viable network of food sources as well as to foods that comprise a well-balanced, nutrient-rich diet. This aptly named 18-wheel tractor trailer holds 45,000 lbs. of food. This year the Hope Mobile will carry more than 11 million pounds of food reaching over 48,000 households of families and individuals living at or below the poverty level. The Hope Mobile provides an immediate solution to those communities that have a great need – but short supply – of nutritious food.
