Food Bank of South Jersey, Assembly Leader Louis Greenwald, Assemblyman William Spearman, Camden County Commissioner Jennifer Fleisher, and DoorDash Gather to mark 5,000 Deliveries of Charitable Groceries through Project DASH
PENNSAUKEN, NJ — Today, the Food Bank of South Jersey (FBSJ) celebrated its strong partnership with DoorDash’s Project DASH, which has made more than 5,000 deliveries throughout the community in the fight against hunger. Launched in 2018, Project DASH has powered the delivery of over 135 million meals across the U.S. and Canada.
Leaders from both organizations marked the occasion by providing a ceremonial delivery to a
DoorDash Dasher.
Through its partnership with Project DASH, FBSJ provides essential nutrition to local seniors through its Senior Nutrition Resource Supplement program, as well as serving other food-insecure individuals and families through its network of agencies and mobile pantries. This partnership, in part supported by the New Jersey Office of Faith Based Initiatives and a $7,500 Project DASH Impact Grant, has expanded FBSJ’s reach in the community, increasing access to nutritious food for individuals and families.
FBSJ has also used Project DASH to support medically tailored nutrition initiatives, delivering healthy, prescribed food directly to participants, thus removing transportation and mobility barriers to improve health outcomes.
“Food access looks different for everyone. For some, getting nutritious food delivered to their door isn’t a convenience, it’s how they stay nourished and connected to the support they need,” said Jane Asselta, President & CEO of the Food Bank of South Jersey. “DoorDash’s Project DASH has made that possible for neighbors across our region, and we’re grateful for a partner who shows up for South Jersey the way they do.”
“Our partnership with the Food Bank of South Jersey is a powerful example of how technology and community can come together to fight hunger,” said Alex Spyropoulos, Head of New Jersey Public Policy at DoorDash. “Surpassing 5,000 local deliveries underscores our shared commitment to ensuring that every neighbor has access to the food they need with the dignity and convenience of home delivery. We are honored to support the Food Bank of South Jersey in its important mission.”
