Since its founding in 1976, the Center for Food Action in New Jersey's mission is to prevent hunger and homelessness and work to improve the lives of individuals and families living in poverty. The center provides individuals and families with emergency food packages, rental and utility insurance, counseling, advocacy and other essential services to those in need living in Northern New Jersey.
This is a tremendous organization that has helped a countless number of people since their inception. With the upcoming holidays and the increased need for charitable giving, it is important to remember that there are others in your community that are in need of assistance. While it may be hard to give during the economic downturn, simply volunteering your time to help out at a local soup kitchen or unpack charitable donations can be a big help to these types of organizations.
Here is one location in Bergen County that is looking for help this upcoming weekend.

Our company is collecting for a local food bank this holiday season and instead of gift for our clients we are making charitible donations to Toys for Tots and The National Food Bank. I think it's great that you volunteer your time to such a worthy cause!
