The
New Jersey Bankers Association Partners with the Community FoodBank of New Jersey
to Donate 1-Million Meals
CRANFORD,
NJ – The New Jersey
Bankers Association (NJBankers) is partnering with the Community FoodBank of
New Jersey (CFBNJ) to donate one-million meals to families in need over the
next five years.
As part of the
campaign, NJBankers will be encouraging both its bank members and associate
members to participate in this worthwhile cause. CFBNJ has designed multiple
programs, such as virtual food drives and special packing parties that will
allow organizations to easily participate both digitally and, in their brick-and-mortar
locations. Additionally, the public can participate via the donation site as
well.
“Our goal is
to create a long-term, state-wide, impact for families in need”, said Mike
Affuso, President and CEO of NJBankers. “Our members are constantly giving back
to their communities, this campaign will allow us to create a unified effort
amongst the New Jersey banking industry, while showcasing the need to combat
food insecurity in the state.”
"In New
Jersey, more than 650,000 people struggle with hunger, including over 175,000
kids," said Carlos Rodriguez, President & CEO of the Community
FoodBank of New Jersey. "This campaign with NJBankers will make a
tremendous difference for kids, parents, and seniors who may not know where
their next meal is coming from."
