For perhaps the first time in our 45-year history, CFBNJ is experiencing a critical shortage of volunteers to help us pack food for our neighbors in need.
As you know, due to the pandemic, food insecurity is expected to rise by 56 percent to more than 1.2 million NJ residents, including 400,000 children (1 in 5). We are committed to providing food to as many of these people as possible, with programs like Family Pack doubling its output this year, hundreds of Emergency Meal Kits being produced for drive-up distributions, as well as our continued programs.
We have many safety protocols established in our Hillside warehouse including temperature checks, mandatory masks and gloves and socially distanced activities. In addition, we require each volunteer fill out and sign our Covid-19 waiver form. CFBNJ is perhaps one of the cleanest, safest facilities currently operating!
If possible, we hope you will be able to share this information with your members, friends, family, colleagues, neighbors -- and consider coming to volunteer with your own group - we will be so grateful.
