Makes FY2026 supplemental appropriation $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 for Fiscal Year 2026 to support the Department of Agriculture's Food and Hunger Programs. The funds will be distributed to the state's six regional food banks, which collect and redistribute surplus food donations to food pantries and community organizations. These programs directly serve low-income families, seniors, disabled individuals, and children across New Jersey by providing meals through local nonprofit partners. The funding is intended to address food insecurity, particularly following disruptions to federal SNAP benefits affecting approximately 800,000 residents.
