At the Community FoodBank of New Jersey, a member of the Second Harvest food bank network, we try to use one problem to alleviate the other. There’s plenty of food out there that is still good to eat but doesn’t meet manufacturer or supermarket appearance standards. When that happens, the distributors of New Jersey call us, and we get that food to the charities that feed the needy. The FoodBank is the state’s largest provider of donated groceries to charities, shipping up to 24 million pounds of food annually to 1,500 food pantries, soup kitchens, homeless shelters and other programs in 18 counties.
