Come join CFA as we pack 1000 snack packs for local school children. These snack packs will be filled with shelf-stable food items that help our families fight hunger over the weekend. Sign up to join us in person, start your own online fundraiser, or donate money if you can not make it! Thank you for joining us as we honor 9/11 and work to alleviate hunger in our communities.
No one should be hungry in New Jersey, yet hunger is present in every town and community. Together we can pack 1000 snack packs and raise funds to purchase nutritious food for children and families in need.
9/11 Day of Service and Remembrance Weekend Snack Pack Event
Register to join us in person and bring a friend or bring the kids! Or create your own online fundraiser to help fight hunger in northern New Jersey.
CFA’s annual day of service supports our initiatives by improving our neighbors’ lives, strengthening communities, and fostering civic engagement through service and volunteering.
New Jersey is a prosperous, modern state and also an expensive place to call home. CFA believes no one should have to choose between a healthy meal and paying rent. For 46 years, CFA has helped fill the gap for working families trying to make ends meet.
My family is fortunate. My children have never missed a meal or had to go to school hungry. I want them to appreciate what they have and learn the importance of volunteerism to help those in our communities who may be in need.
The mission of the Center for Food Action is to “prevent hunger and homelessness and improve the lives of individuals and families living in poverty.”
The Center for Food Action (CFA), founded in 1976, is a non-profit 501 (c)(3) organization that provides emergency services to northern New Jersey’s poorest and most vulnerable residents. CFA provides food, housing, utility, and heating assistance and offers counseling and advocacy services to low-income individuals and families. CFA is headquartered in Englewood and has sites in Hackensack, Mahwah, Ringwood, and Saddle Brook. In 2014, at the request of Bergen Community College, CFA opened a site on BCC’s Paramus campus in order to serve low-income students and their families.
Started by the late singer Harry Chapin and Bill Ayres as World Hunger Year New Jersey, the agency originally focused on the global causes of world hunger but within months of its start, it became evident that some people in our own community needed help in order to put food on their tables.
