CFBNJ is a member of Feeding America®, a nationwide network of food banks, food pantries and local meal programs. 

In addition to volunteering, PLM Fleet presented a $1,000 donation to CFBNJ.

Last year, the Food Bank distributed food for over 90 million meals (more than 108 million pounds).

Over 55 PLM employees volunteered at the CFBNJ Hillside, NJ Warehouse to help fight food insecurity. Their support included assembling emergency food boxes, packing bulk items into family-sized bags, and sorting and repacking food items.
