Establishes New Jersey Food Security Coordination and Response Program.
This bill establishes the New Jersey Food Security Coordination and Response Program within the Department of Human Services to improve access to food and nutrition resources during crises. It creates a working group with state health and human services agencies, plus community representatives, to coordinate responses when SNAP or WIC benefits face widespread disruption. The program also sets up an Emergency Fund to provide immediate grants to local food banks, childcare programs, and community organizations for distributing food and assisting with benefit enrollment during crises. The initiative specifically aims to reach pregnant individuals, parents of young children, and communities with culturally appropriate outreach in multiple languages.
