Over and over during the past year, families of our food pantry at the West & Central Village Community Resource Hub told us how grateful they were to have access to fresh fruit and vegetables during citywide stay-at-home orders. Your contributions made a tremendous difference as Newark residents struggled with the effects of the pandemic shutdown.
We would especially like to recognize Bayer Pharmaceuticals for their grant to the food pantry, which will go a long way to support West and Central Village families as they transition back, like the rest of us, to full-time work and school. Thanks to support from our community, we have distributed 55,511 meals and assisted over 4,780 families.
