Supplemental appropriation of $30 million to New Jersey's Food and Hunger Programs in FY2026.

New Jersey A2245 supplements the Fiscal Year 2026 appropriations act with an additional $30 million from the General Fund to the Department of Agriculture's Food and Hunger Programs. These funds will support the State's six regional food banks, which collect, store, and distribute surplus food to food pantries and nonprofits serving needy families, senior citizens, disabled individuals, and children. The appropriation aims to mitigate the impact of federal funding delays on New Jersey residents who rely on food assistance.
