The Food Brigade was mentioned in the Holiday 2025 edition of Edible Jersey magazine, in an interview of our president, Karen DeMarco. The article reads in part:
"Not everyone can be a Karen DeMarco. Not everyone feels comfortable learning the names of the families who rely on these resources. For a time, DeMarco would get half her meal at a local diner wrapped to go, then give it to a woman on the street outside. The woman was surprised because 'people usually cross the street when they see me,' she told DeMarco. 'It’s not just about giving out food. It’s HOW you give out food,' DeMarco says. 'I’ve had people thank me for giving food to them in such a way that they don’t feel bad coming for it. Food is a basic need. If we can’t be good humans and take care of each other, what is it that we really have? How do you NOT help people?'
