According to the Community FoodBank of New Jersey, more than 44 million people in the US are food insecure. Nearly 1,000,000 of them live in New Jersey, including over 260,000 children.

Since March is National Nutrition Month, we want to make it our mission to assist the food insecure in our community.  The shopping cart for food donations can be found in our Welcome Center to help facilitate drop off  as you visit the Y.

All donations go to the IHM Food Pantry which serves our local community.

Items always in need include:

  • Baby products
  • Boxed potatoes
  • Cake mix
  • Canned beans, chicken, fruit, fruit juice, salmon, soup, tuna, vegetables
  • Coffee
  • Cooking oils
  • Deodorant, soap, and toothpaste
  • Diapers
  • Feminine products
  • Hot and cold cereals
  • Mac & cheese
  • Pancake mix and syrup
  • Peanut butter & jelly
  • Rice
  • Shelf stable milk
  • Snacks
  • Tomato sauce

Thank you for supporting our community during National Nutrition Month.
