Mission Statement
Our mission is to feed the hungry and the food insecure.
The mission of The Food Brigade is to ensure that no child or adult in New Jersey goes hungry.
Our focus is on reaching those who "fall through the cracks" in existing services.
Who We Are
Our operations include the distribution of bulk food + prepared meals.
We provide food, in the form of both prepared meals and fresh and packaged foods, to local families and individuals dealing with hunger and food insecurity.
We perform these services through the use of volunteers who assist with food acquisition, transport, preparation, distribution, and delivery.
In the Words of Our Recipients
THIS IS OUR "WHY"
"I just want to say I am overwhelmed. What you are all doing is just amazing. The box is so fantastic and it made my heart cry with joy."

"Thank you so much. I just came home and opened the box - it's overwhelmingly generous. Thank you to all the staff."
