YOUR DONATION FEEDS PEOPLE IN CAPE MAY

Each donation is important and helps provide nutritious food and essential items for Cape May residents. Every dollar you give stays in our community and stretches further than you might imagine. With partnerships that allow us to purchase food in bulk and at reduced costs, your generosity multiplies to feed more families in need.​

 WHY YOUR HELP MATTERS?

​

  • $100 provides fresh eggs and produce at a reduced cost for multiple families.​

  • $500 allows us to offer holiday groceries to neighbors facing food insecurity.

  • $1,000 enables bulk purchases of essential food and personal care items for an even greater impact.

​

​​

As we are a registered 501c3 Corporation, all contributions are tax-deductible, and each donation makes a direct and tangible impact, helping us feed children, support working parents, and care for our most vulnerable neighbors.
