Special thanks to our 2020 Food Distribution partner Richie Belford, owner of White Rose Diner in Linden, NJ. By providing fresh lunch and breakfast sliders at cost, Newark neighbors-with-no-addresses were able to enjoy hot meals. Thanks, Richie!
Special thanks to our 2020-21 Food Distribution partner Pastor Melvin Wilson and Saint Matthew AME Church in Orange, NJ. SHENU Temple, along with other spiritual organizations, was able to pick up food boxes at Saint Matthew that were provided by Essex County. We distributed to our recipient families immediately after pick up. Thank you for your commitment to community, Pastor Wilson and Saint Matthew AME Church!
