Demand for assistance through food pantries has shot up throughout the Garden State as families struggle to keep up with the rising prices of everyday needs.
Between 2019 and 2023, the all-food Consumer Price Index increased by 25%, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture. Inflation has slowed, but prices remain at levels that may be out of reach for families — even ones with two incomes.
Many New Jersey families are turning to pantries to help for the first time ever.
“Absolutely no shame — we don’t want anybody not knowing where the next meal for themselves or their children is coming from,” said Elizabeth McCarthy, president and CEO of Community FoodBank of New Jersey. “They are just having trouble making it to that next paycheck.”
And during any year, summer increases need in New Jersey — students are no longer covered for one or two meals per day, as they would be during the school year.
“And we also do see that donations drop off,” McCarthy said. “I think it’s just not front of mind the way it is during the holidays.”
