Community Events to Fight Community Hunger

Something is always happening at Feeding Hands Food Pantry – stocking, volunteering and distributing. But our volunteers also know how to have fun in the service of a great cause! Throughout the year we host community events to raise awareness about food insecurity in NJ and what Feeding Hands is doing to support our neighbors in need.
