Fill the Bags that Fill New Jersey’s Tables

Your gift buys Garden State produce for families this holiday season.

As the holidays approach, need is rising: nearly 1.1 million New Jerseyans face food insecurity, and nationwide 30–40% of the food supply is never eaten. Your donation helps us buy more NJ-grown produce and get it where it’s needed. 
Thankfully, Farmers Against Hunger has been proactively working with NJ farmers for over 29 years, and have already gleaned, with the help of our mighty volunteers, 320,000 pounds of New Jersey produce. That's produce that we're distributing directly to our hunger relief partners- including food banks, community groups, churches, and other grassroots organizations throughout 14 counties in New Jersey.
We’re already gearing up to feed 4,000 families this Thanksgiving with produce gleaned over the harvest season and donated by our farm partners — and with your help, we can feed even more families.

Why farmers need your help now
Harvest season ends, but farm bills don’t. Buying directly from New Jersey farms in late fall helps growers cover winter costs — payroll, inputs, equipment — and supports the families who feed our state.

Your gift strengthens the local farm economy while tackling hunger.

About Farmers Against Hunger
Since 1996, FAH has reduced food waste and food insecurity by gleaning surplus crops and purchasing produce from NJ farms to round out bags for partner statewide. Learn more about our organization here.
