Hunger Free New Jersey

For the second year in a row, fewer New Jersey children received afterschool suppers in 2020 and questions remain as to why.

Hunger Free New Jersey says there are still plenty of eligible residents who are not receiving SNAP benefits.

Plenty of New Jersey school districts have been offering free meals to families during the coronavirus pandemic, but a new report suggests many kids aren't actually getting their hands on this food.

Responding to the urgent need brought on by the COVID-19 public health crisis, more New Jersey schools, organizations and communities are offering free summer meals for children this summer.

It remains to be seen whether the COVID-19 public health crisis will put a sizeable dent in the number of New Jersey children who are fed through summer meal programs.

A report released this morning from The Food Research and Action Center reports the number of New Jersey children served through the Federal Afterschool Supper Program increased dramatically between 2017 and last year.

More than half of eligible New Jersey seniors who could get for food assistance do not get the help that they need.

A state law launching in September will force New Jersey's participation rate to skyrocket.

But a new state law may reverse the slide.

A New Jersey group fighting hunger in the state points to a new report that shows New Jersey veterans rely on assistance for food.
