The Food Bank of South Jersey exists to provide an immediate solution to the urgent problem of hunger by providing food to needy people, teaching them to eat nutritiously, and helping them to find sustainable ways to improve their lives.
Who We Are
The Food Bank of South Jersey (FBSJ) operates on one simple premise:
food should not be wasted when hungry people are in our midst. From
this truth, it has built an effective food distribution program that
annually links 8 million pounds of food with over 200 charitable
food providers, such as, food pantries, soup kitchens and emergency
shelters.
The Food Bank of South Jersey is a member of Feeding America™, formally named
America's Second Harvest, the Nation's Food Bank Network™ and
the largest domestic hunger relief organization. Food Bank of South
Jersey is an affiliate partner of United Way Burlington, Camden,
Gloucester counties and other United Ways throughout the Delaware
Region.
 Food Bank of South Jersey is the largest source of government and
" non-government" food assistance in South Jersey. We are the only
major agency in South Jersey whose mission is to eliminate hunger
and malnutrition by ensuring that wholesome surplus food reach people
in need. Our centralized food donation and distribution system is
a vital community link ensuring that low-income and disadvantaged
residents can access free groceries and wholesome meals from a charitable
food provider in their neighborhood.
In our 25th year of community service, the FBSJ continues to serve
as an agent for effective food rescue and charitable food distribution
in southern New Jersey. Since our inception, we have provided more
100 million pounds of food--the equivalent of 76 million meals--to
thousands of families, seniors, individuals, and children in need.
