Perspective on Health Equity
The Community FoodBank of New Jersey provides food, help and hope to those in need. While we meet the emergency need for food within our communities, we are working to promote a culture of health. We accomplish this through job training programs, partnering with local and state organizations to increase access to healthy food and working with communities to make the healthy choice, the easy choice. Healthier JC will allow us to expand our current community partnerships and collaborate.
