Bank of America Awards $100,000 Grant
The Community FoodBank of New Jersey, the state’s largest anti-hunger and anti-poverty organization, has received a $100,000 grant from Bank of America, it announced Wednesday.
The grant will provide general operating support for the organization, which aims to end food insecurity in a state where nearly 1 million people are food-insecure, including more than 260,000 children.
CFBNJ serves 15 of the state’s 21 counties through food distribution and support services.
“We are immensely grateful for Bank of America’s longtime support and for this generous grant that helps to fund our mission,” Elizabeth McCarthy, CEO and president of CFBNJ, said in a prepared statement. “We appreciate Bank of America’s continued investment in building a food-secure future.”
