For over a year now, Farmers Against Hunger has been working closely with HomeFront to support their pursuit to break the cycle of poverty and end homelessness in Central New Jersey. We’ve provided fresh, locally-sourced produce to their kitchen, where they do so much more than just prepare meals. HomeFront is committed to changing lives by equipping families with the tools they need to become self-sufficient, and it’s been inspiring to see how our freshly-sourced produce has played a part in that transformation.
One of the main features at the heart of this effort is Bubbie’s Teaching Kitchen, where fresh produce becomes more than ingredients—it becomes a pathway to empowerment and self-sustainability. This space isn’t just for cooking; it’s where HomeFront clients, like Celianny, are learning new skills and gaining confidence in the kitchen. Celianny, now teaching classes herself, says it best: “I love teaching people… so they can taste new food. I want the class to know that cooking is the most important thing.” Her journey is just one of many, but it’s a reminder that cooking education can truly change lives.
This collaboration represents the best of what community partnerships can do: helping people grow, learn, and thrive together. HomeFront has served thousands of families over the years, and FAH is honored to contribute to their mission with fresh food sourced by the hard-working farmers of the Garden State. The past year has been a meaningful journey, and we look forward to continuing and developing our relationship with Homefront!
