Makes FY2026 supplemental appropriation of $30 million from General Fund to Food and Hunger Programs in Department of Agriculture.

This bill (A 2245) allocates $30 million from New Jersey’s General Fund to the Department of Agriculture for FY2026 food and hunger programs. It directly supports the state’s six regional food banks, which collect and distribute surplus edible food to food pantries and nonprofits serving low-income communities. The funding will help sustain meals for approximately 800,000 New Jersey residents who rely on SNAP benefits, especially following disruptions to federal food assistance. The money is specifically designated for "Food and Hunger Programs" under the Department of Agriculture’s budget, with no new taxes or programs created.
