The Center for Food Action has provided emergency food assistance to northern New Jersey neighbors facing food insecurity since 1976. Households living in Bergen County or northern Passaic County can make an appointment to receive a box of non-perishable food, along with fresh produce, meat, dairy, and bread, as available. The Choice Pantry model lets guests choose items with dignity. Diapers, baby formula, and personal care supplies are distributed when available. The organization also connects community members with homelessness prevention, utility assistance, and other essential services, and partners with schools to host emergency food pop-ups across the region.,
