Pew Envelopes
February Pew Envelopes Benefit The Food Bank of South Jersey
By 2022 10.7% of Garden State residents were struggling with food insecurities. In one of the wealthiest states in America, 1 in 10 people cannot consistently afford the food they need for themselves and their families to thrive. 2022 is probably not even the high mark of this problem as the utilization of food pantries has now risen to 60%. With the uncertainty of government assistance for food programs along with the possibility of layoffs, the Food Bank of South Jersey will be more crucial than ever.
By building a network of over 300 partners supporting local food pantries, last year the Food Bank of South Jersey collected and distributed over 170,000 meals monthly. Their “Health and Wellness” educational programs focus on building nutritional awareness to promote more sustainable healthy lifestyles. They are also building partnerships with several farmers in South Jersey to help grow and distribute fresh produce.
Please help the Food Bank of South Jersey sustain their mission to fight hunger in our communities with your February Pew donation. Please use the QR code, Outreach envelopes, or drop off a check to the office and mark all donations Feb FBSJ.
