Have Fun While Fighting Hunger

We have some great events and fundraisers in store this holiday season. These opportunities are simple ways for you to give back and have fun…

    • Jersey Girls Food Tours: Sign yourself up for a culinary adventure that will benefit the FoodBank! Jersey Girls Food Tours will host an “Eat For A Cause” event on Monday, December 5. Taste the best food Jersey City has to offer and feel good about it because your participation will support the fight against hunger.

 

    • Mezoco Mexican Taqueria Grand Opening: A new taco joint is opening in Montclair on Saturday, December 10. The best part about that news is that they will have a 1,000-taco giveaway. So line up for the festivities, make a donation to the Community FoodBank of New Jersey and enjoy two free tacos!

 

    • Smythe Volvo Fighting Hunger: We’ve partnered with Smythe Volvo this holiday season on a special campaign that combats hunger. Smythe Volvo will donate $100 to the FoodBank for every new purchase or lease through Saturday, December 31. Start off the new year with a new vehicle!

 

    • Lawyers Feeding New Jersey: Join the annual virtual food drive spearheaded by the New Jersey State Bar Association. It encourages the legal community — and all New Jerseyans — to give back to help our neighbors in need. The online collection runs through Saturday, December 31.

 

    • Crate & Barrel Holiday Fundraiser: Shopping for gifts at Crate & Barrel? When you check out, remember to donate $5 to support the store’s local food bank through Saturday, December 31. As a bonus, you’ll receive a holiday CD and help end hunger.

 

    • Pumpkin and Pumpkin Pecan Cheesecake Campaign: This is “everything pumpkin” season and The Cheesecake Factory knows that. That’s why for every slice of Pumpkin and Pumpkin Pecan cheesecake you order through the new year, The Cheesecake Factory will donate $0.25 to Feeding America®. A portion of the proceeds will benefit the Community FoodBank of New Jersey.
