Makes FY2026 supplemental appropriation of $30 million from General Fund to Food and Hunger Programs in Department of Agriculture.
This bill appropriates $30 million from New Jersey's General Fund to the Department of Agriculture for Food and Hunger Programs in Fiscal Year 2026. The funds will be distributed to the state's six regional food banks, which collect surplus food and distribute it to food pantries and nonprofit organizations serving the needy. Directly, this supports low-income families, senior citizens, disabled individuals, and children across New Jersey through expanded food assistance. The appropriation supplements existing funding to maintain critical food distribution services, particularly following disruptions to federal SNAP benefits.
