​​PRODUCE RECIPIENTS

Farmers Against Hunger supplies free fresh produce to a network of over 85 hunger relief agencies across New Jersey, including regional food banks, food pantries, and soup kitchens (35+ per week).

In addition, we serve clients directly via pop-up food distribution events, offering family-size bags of mixed produce to those in need.

Map of Food Distribution
Weekly Distribution Sites
​Every week, Farmers Against Hunger distributes produce to around 35 hunger relief agencies, located primarily in four locations: Camden, Trenton, Mt Holly, and Browns Mills. In Camden, FAH delivers directly to 3-4 affordable housing sites and church pantries each week. In each of the other locations, we bring the produce to a single site, where 6-10 local groups have arranged to assemble for pick-up. On the given day, our FAH driver or a volunteer Site Leader oversees the process as representatives from each organization load up their cars and vans with a selection of the week's products. The recipients then distribute that food amongst their clients and community members in need. While some deliver items to seniors or disabled individuals with limited mobility, others stock up their church food pantries, and others prepare delicious meals in soup kitchens.

Thank you to the incredible staff and volunteers at each of the sites and organizations listed below. It is through your dedication and generosity that we can ensure that the fresh and nutritious food from our donors is reaching the individuals in greatest need.

We work with and serve the best communities all around New Jersey!
"The donation of fresh vegetables and fruit from Farmers Against Hunger is a very positive and welcomed addition to the food we distribute each month to those in need at our food pantry. Our clients are extremely appreciative."

– Carol Forman, Manager

Agency Partners
In addition, we provide fresh produce more sporadically to another 40+ organizations statewide. We serve these partners on a rotating basis, based on seasonal availability, or whenever extra produce is available. We thank them for answering the call and managing the logistics of pick-up/delivery, in order to ensure that their communities have access to fresh fruits and vegetables.

Interested in Receiving Produce?

Farmers Against Hunger collects produce and other food products from a network of about 80 farms and assorted donors. Often, we do not know what type of produce or how much will be available until the last minute. A farmer may expect to have one pallet of squash for us at the beginning of the day, and upon pick-up, we are blessed with an additional six bins of eggplant. It is not uncommon to have 10,000 lbs of squash and cucumbers on one of our trucks in the height of the summer, or a full truckload of potatoes in late fall. Even if we have space in our cooler, we always hope to find a home for the produce as soon as possible, while it is most fresh. At such times, we need to quickly reach out to our agency partners and create a schedule to distribute the food efficiently. If an agency can send staff or volunteers to pick up produce from our cooler in Delran, NJ, it is always preferred. We do, however, also operate three trucks to deliver to agencies outside of our weekly routes. If your agency would like to be "on-call" as surplus becomes available, please fill out the form below. We look forward to connecting with you and learning more about your organization.

    Distribution Logistics
    Farmers Against Hunger distributes to four main locations each week. At each site, around ten registered agencies come to pick up a share of the produce. Certain sites are already at maximum capacity, so selecting your site preference below does not guarantee that your group will be able to pick up at that location. However, groups may drop out of the program or we may choose to expand a site, based on the requests we receive. We will keep your application on file and contact you if a position becomes available.
    In addition to these weekly deliveries, we also offer more sporadic produce delivery or pick-up opportunities to other hunger relief agencies across the state.
    Most of our produce arrives in large 800-lb cardboard bins (3x4x3 feet), which we transport atop wooden pallets, using a pallet jack. If we deliver, we can drop off these bins outside your building. In order to drop off inside a building, there must be a ramp entrance, no stairs, and no "bumps" in the doorway or other obstacles for moving the bin with the jack. Occasionally, we also receive boxed items or we have volunteers pack items into smaller bundles, which may be easier for you to handle.
