“The FeedNJ campaign contracted with more than 80 restaurants...tens of thousands of additional meals that allowed local soup kitchens to meet the tremendous demand for their support services. And in doing so, they kept these restaurants active and open…Thanks to Soup Kitchen 411 and FeedNJ, more families have access to the nutritious meals they need.”
Governor Phil Murphy, June 23, 2021 briefing

“With bulk orders from FeedNJ, we have been able to provide more hours to our hard-working employees without hurting our bottom line. There’s a special pride in knowing our meals are going to people who really need them, where they will be appreciated.”
Jacob Ryvkin, owner of Hudson Grille in Jersey City

"Pre-COVID, we would work with local churches to cook meals on our premises, but now we can’t prepare meals on site. Having hot meals brought to us from local restaurants purchased by FeedNJ makes sure that our clients and communities are taken care of.”
Annette Calderin, Mental Health Counselor and Soup Kitchen Coordinator at St. Joseph’s
