One of the things on our mind during this National Senior Nutrition Month🍎 is how we can save money while still eating healthy. Our friends at the Bergen County Office of Food Security put together this comprehensive list of food benefits for seniors.

Today is ! 1 in 10 children in NJ have experienced hunger. Free School Meals are so much more than just food – it is an investment in children’s health and education – and overall, an essential part of addressing food insecurity in our communities. Do you know if your school offers free meals to eligible students/families? Ask a faculty member or visit your school’s website! To learn more about eligibility requirements, how to apply, and more – visit your school’s website, talk to a faculty member, or you can visit: hungerfreenj.org/schoolmealstoolkit/

As SNAP benefits continue to be delayed, the County and our Office of Food Security, in partnership with the Community FoodBank of New Jersey, are working to ensure that our neighbors do not go hungry. Today, we served nearly 1,000 households at our Emergency Food Distribution at Overpeck County Park. Thank you to all our volunteers, as well as our staff, first responders, security, and Community Transportation team for helping today run safely and smoothly.

If you are in need of food assistance, please visit BergenFightsHunger.org/Food-Pantry-Finder to locate a pantry near you. Those looking to donate or volunteer with a pantry may visit www.BergenFightsHunger.org.
