Red\u2019s Rolling Restaurant. – NJBankers<\/p>\n
The New Jersey Bankers Association (NJBankers) recently held its second Food Truck to Fight Food Insecurity in Trenton to support state residents facing food insecurity through the fall months and beyond.<\/p>\n
Red\u2019s Rolling Restaurant was parked outside the State Library and saw a steady stream of customers throughout the afternoon, including individuals who work in and around the New Jersey State House. The NJBankers Charitable Foundation matched the day\u2019s $1,000 in sales to benefit the Community FoodBank of New Jersey (CFNJ) and the children, families and seniors it serves.<\/p>\n
\u201cAs families settle into the school year and we approach the holidays, many of our neighbors continue to face challenges putting food on the table. The support of partners like NJBankers helps us provide food to our neighbors when they need it most,\u201d said Elizabeth McCarthy, president and CEO of the Community FoodBank of New Jersey.<\/p>\n
The food truck event \u2013 which was first held in June \u2013 is part of the Bankers Care program, an initiative that highlights the investment banks make in the welfare of their communities, whether it\u2019s through volunteerism, charitable giving, financial literacy, participation in community programs and more.<\/p>\n
\u201cAs more New Jerseyans face challenges putting food on the table, our state\u2019s banks remain committed to supporting the communities they serve,\u201d said Michael Affuso, NJBankers president and CEO. \u201cThrough initiatives like the Food Truck to Fight Food Insecurity, we\u2019re helping provide individuals and families with the resources they need while demonstrating the meaningful difference banks can make in the lives of their neighbors.\u201d<\/p>\n
According to Community FoodBank of New Jersey, more than 1.2 million people in New Jersey are food insecure, including over 330,000 children. The majority of households served by the food bank have at least one member with a paying job \u2013 some work multiple jobs but still struggle to make ends meet.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
