Deb from Jersey Bites coordinated a blogging campaign to help make people aware that the community foodbank of New Jersey is in need of some help. Click here to read her post.
I don't have to tell you that times are tough for everyone right now but what you may not know is that food banks are suffering more than ever. More people are in need of a warm meal and there are less people who are helping to provide those families with food. These people are in our own communities even here in New Jersey.
Did you know:
At the Community FoodBank of New Jersey (CFBNJ), requests forr food have gone up 30 percent, but donations are down by 25 percent. - CFBNJ
Warehouse shelves that are typically stocked with food are bare and supplies have gotten so low that, for the first time in its 25 year history, the food bank is developing a rationing mechanism. - CFBNJ
In New Jersey alone, an estimated 250,000 new clients will be seeking sustenance this year from the state’s food banks. – “No Food on the table,” By Judy Peet, The Star-Ledger, Oct. 23, 2008
What you can do to help:
- Donate money.
- Donate food.
- Host a food drive.
- Spread the word.
