You can access their web page here <a href="http://www.sefan.org/2.html" target="_blank" class="postlink">http://www.sefan.org/2.html</a> which outlines which items they are most in need of. You can then also find on the same web site the locations <a href="http://www.sefan.org/index.html" target="_blank">http://www.sefan.org/index.html</a> of a food pantry which is local to you in your county and where you can then contact to make those donations if you choose. <br /> <br />I hope you will join with me today to help our neighbors throughout New Jersey. <br /> <br />You can find out more at: <a href="http://www.njfoodbank.org" target="_blank" class="postlink">http://www.njfoodbank.org</a> <br /> <br /><span style="font-weight: bold">Statistics on Hunger</span> <br /> <br />More than 35 million Americans, including 12 million children, either live with or are on the verge of hunger. - USDA, Household Food Security in the United States, 2006 <br /> <br />The number of families coming to churches and food banks trying to get help to feed their families has increased approximately 20 percent. - National Anti-Hunger Organizations, 2008 Blueprint to End Hunger <br /> <br />According to a recent survey, 6 percent of Americans said they or someone in their immediate family has gone to bed hungry in the past month because they could not afford enough food. - 2008 Hormel Hunger Survey <br /> <br />One out of every five New Jersey families does not earn enough to afford the basic necessities – housing, food and child care – although 85 percent of these households have at least one family member who is working. – Poverty Research Institute, June 2008 <br /> <br />In New Jersey alone, an estimated 250,000 new clients will be seeking sustenance this year from the state’s food banks. – “No Food on the table,” By Judy Peet, The Star-Ledger, Oct. 23, 2008 <br /> <br /> <br /><span style="font-weight: bold">Statistics on the Plight of the CFBNJ</span> <br /> <br />At the Community Food Bank of New Jersey (CFBNJ), requests for food have gone up 30 percent, but donations are down by 25 percent. - CFBNJ <br /> <br />Warehouse shelves that are typically stocked with food are bare and supplies have gotten so low that, for the first time in its 25 year history, the food bank is developing a rationing mechanism. - CFBNJ <br /> <br /> <br /><span style="font-weight: bold">History of the CFBNJ</span> <br /> <br />What was to become the Community Food Bank of New Jersey began when founder and Executive Director, Kathleen DiChiara, began distributing groceries out of the trunk of her car in 1976. <br /> <br />The Community FoodBank of New Jersey (CFBNJ), a member of Feeding America, fights hunger and poverty by the distribution of food and grocery products, by education and training, by creating new programs to meet the needs of low-income people, and by involving all sectors of society in this battle. <br />In 1982, the FoodBank was incorporated. <br /> <br />CFBNJ annually assists charities serving approximately 500,000 people in need in 18 of New Jersey’s 21 counties. <br /> <br />CFBNJ has distributed, since its incorporation, more than 300 million pounds of food and groceries valued at more than half-a-billion dollars. <br /> <br />Today, the FoodBank distributes over 21 million pounds of food and groceries a year, ultimately serving nearly 1,700 non-profits including 436 programs served by its Partner Distribution Organizations (PDOs). <br /> <br /><span style="font-weight: bold">Participating Bloggers for “We Can’t Let This Bank Fail” campaign</span> <br /> <br />1) JerseyBites.com <br />2) RedBankGreen.com <br />3) Jersey Girl Cooks <br />4) Simply Sable <br />5) John and Lisa are eating in South Jersey <br />6) Padma's Kitchen <br />7) Chefdruck <br />8) Life Lightly Salted <br />9) My Italian Grandmother <br />10) Cook Appeal <br />11) Crotchety Old Man Yells at Cars <br />12) Mommy Vents <br />13) This Full House <br />14) Paper Bridges <br />15) Motherhood Avenue <br />16) The Kamienski Chronicles <br />17) Down the Shore with Jen <br />18) Fits and Giggles <br />19) House Hubbies Home Cooking <br />20) Nourish Ourselves <br />21) Partybluprints.com <br />22) Tommyeats.com <br />23) Off the broiler <br />24) Mrs. Mo’s New Jersey Baby <br />25) IamNotaChef.com <br />26) SimplyBeer.com <br />27) HistoryGeek.com <br />28) Savy Source Newark <br />29) Momlogic New Jersey <br />30) SurvivingNJ.com/blog <br />31) SurvivingNJ.blogspot.com <br />32) JerseyGirlGuide.com <br />33) Best of Roxy <br />34) Citizen Mom.net <br />35) Lynetteradio.com <br />36) Jersey Beat <br />37) Pop Vulture Phil <br />38) JerseySmarts.com <br />39) LongBeachIslandSummers.com <br />40) WildwoodSummers.com <br />41) Mike Halfacres Blog <br />42) Somerset08873 <br />43) Family, Friends and Food <br />44) KateSpot.com <br />45) NewJerseyMomsBlog.com <br />46) JCRegister.com <br />47) New Jersey Real Estate Report <br />48) Riverviewobserver.com <br />49) More Monmouth Musings <br />50) Man of Infirmity <br />51) Another Delco Guy in South Jersey <br />52) SweetNicks.com <br />53) Average Noone <br />54) Cleary’s Notebook <br />55) Welcome to my Planet <br />56) The Center of New Jersey Life <br />57) Sharon’s Food Blog <br />58) Morristown, Chatham, Summit, and Madison NJ Real Estate <br />59) Midtown Direct Real Estate News <br />60) New Jersey Real Estate <br />61) BlowUpRadio.com <br />62) LazlosDen.com <br />63) The Ridgewood Blog <br />64) Book a Week with Jen <br />65) Banannie <br />66) Cartoongoddess.com <br />67) Matawan Advocate <br />68) Take Back the Kitchen <br />69) The Joy of Toast <br />70) Route 55 <br />71) Montclair Kids.com <br />72) SaveJersey <br />73) Stompbox <br />74) Joe the Blogger <br />75) Environmental Republican <br />76) Stacey Snacks <br />77) Subversive Garden <br />78) New Jersey Pathfinder <br />79) Cooking With Friends Blog <br />80) Triple Venti <br />81) Read All About It <br />82) Rich Lee on Media <br />83) Likelihood of Success <br />84) Cape Cuisine <br />85) The Business At Hand <br />86) NewJerseyTaxRevolution <br />87) Figmentations <br />88) MiddletownMike <br />89) Caviar and Codfish <br />90) A Day in the Life <br />91) Mack’s Journey Through Life <br />92) Alice’s Restaurant <br />93) Tiger Hawk <br />94)Politics Patrol, The Bob Ingle Blog <br />95) The Food Chain <br />96) Henson’s Hell <br />97) Cranbury Conservative <br />98) Baristanet <br />99) New Jersey: Politics Unusual <br />100) Jersey Shore Blog <br />101) Plainfield Today <br />102) Beacon Bulletin <br />103) Journal Square Jersey City 07306</span></td> </tr> </table></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2" height="1" class="spaceRow"><img src="templates/subSilver/images/spacer.gif" alt="" width="1" height="1" /></td> </tr> </table>
