At the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, 1 in 12 New Jersey households did not have reliable access to affordable, nutritious food. A new report from the Food Research & Action Center, Hunger and Its Solutions in New Jersey: Landscape Analysis of Current Initiatives, Recommended Actions, and Emerging Opportunities for Further Investment, produced with input from Rutgers Cooperative Extension of Mercer County FCHS, assesses food insecurity in New Jersey and proposes actionable recommendations to eliminate hunger across the state. Mercer County FCHS also co-facilitates the Trenton Health Team Trenton Food Stakeholders Coalition to address healthy food access needs in Trenton and other communities of need in Mercer County.
