Mobile Distributions
The United States is the world’s greatest food-producing nation, yet millions of American families face hunger every day. Often, people find themselves living in communities that are fresh-food deserts, where local corner stores do not regularly stock nutritious fresh fruits, vegetables, and proteins.
The FBSJ not only helps get nutritious food into the hands of people in need, but we can also help connect them with additional social services like SNAP benefits and more. Here’s how you can access food and services for families in need:

Hope Mobiles
These mobile food pantries provide regular food distributions in neighborhoods designated as ‘food deserts.’ By delivering trailer loads of healthy food, families can more easily access fresh produce and dairy, as well as frozen proteins, which they would not otherwise be able to find or afford in their corner store.
SNRS – Senior Nutrition Resource Supplement
This program operates similarly to a food pantry, but it transports the food to recipients residing in senior living complexes or communities. The Food Bank of South Jersey sets up mobile distributions directly inside senior living facilities, many of whose residents struggle with food insecurity.
School Pantry
A pantry program through which nutritious food is delivered monthly to selected schools to support children and their families.
