Last year, Food Brigade volunteers gave 18,649 hours of their time to help feed New Jersey residents dealing with food insecurity. They worked over 5,300 individual shifts, and the monetary value of their volunteer service was more than $630,000.00. None of the impact of The Food Brigade would be possible without our amazing volunteers who give their time, hearts, and hands 6 days out of 7 each week to give back to their communities and help local families in need.
