The Center for Food Action (CFA) provides emergency food packages and homelessness prevention assistance to local low-income individuals and families. This year CFA is introducing the "Action Beyond the Bag" campaign to highlight the multiple programs we have initiated over the years to expand our ability to help families and individuals in need. Emergency Food Program: CFA provides seven-day food packages to low-income people from eight sites in northern New Jersey. CFA makes every effort to accommodate clients with special needs. Homelessness Prevention Program: CFA prevents evictions and the disconnection of utilities by paying security deposits on behalf of the household when funding is available. CFA makes payment directly to the landlord or the utility company. Weekend Snack Pack Program: Many low-income parents rely on school meals to feed their children. Often, children go hungry on the weekends when these meals are not available. Children attending four area schools are given easy-to-prepare, single serving food items for the weekend. Thanksgiving Food Package Program: CFA distributes approximately 3,000 Thanksgiving food packages to nearly 3,000 low-income households. Community Garden Program: As part of our effort to improve the quality of food our clients have access to, CFA has launched community gardens on the premises of CFA Englewood. 
 Smile Pack Program: This is a new initiative with the goal of encouraging our young clients to exercise proper dental hygiene. Each Smile Pack contains a toothbrush, toothpaste, floss, etc. Packs are added twice a year to our weekend snack packs. Hunger Free New Jersey: Hunger Free New Jersey, CFA’s statewide program, advocates on behalf of the poorest and most vulnerable residents of our State by educating the public and policy-makers on critical issues affecting NJ's low-income residents.Center for Food Action Address
