“Food insecurity is a huge problem throughout the state of New Jersey. Approximately 1 in 10 New Jerseyans experience some form of food insecurity. That is why food drives are so important,” said Matthew J. Mojica, CPA, associate manager in financial reporting at Prudential Financial and chair of the NJCPA Emerging Leaders Council.
Aiysha (AJ) Johnson, MA, IOM, CEO and executive director at the NJCPA, said the launch of the food drive serves as a reminder about the way CPAs contribute to their communities.
“Aside from advising their clients, organizations and boards on financial matters, CPAs give their time annually at this event, which shows how strongly they feel about giving back, collecting donations and warding off hunger in the state,” Johnson said.
The food drive is hosted by the NJCPA Emerging Leaders Council, an appointed leadership group comprised of NJCPA members with up to 10 years of experience, including new licensees and aspiring CPAs. Since 2010, the NJCPA has donated nearly 30,000 pounds (about 13607.76 kg) of non-perishable food items to CFBNJ. Last year, the NJCPA collected more than 2,000 pounds of donations and more than $34,000 in contributions.
CFBNJ, which celebrated its 50th anniversary in 2025, partners with more than 800 food pantries, soup kitchens, shelters, and other feeding programs in the state. It provides more than 90 million meals annually through its network.
