AR 112 New Jersey General Assembly · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Urges schools to implement share tables in order to reduce food waste and help alleviate food insecurity.

Assembly Resolution 112 urges New Jersey public schools to implement share tables in cafeterias to reduce food waste and address food insecurity. Share tables are designated areas where students can leave unopened, unconsumed food for others to take or donate to food pantries, directly affecting school cafeterias and students. The resolution cites that 21% of school lunch calories are wasted and nearly 10% of children in New Jersey face food insecurity. It is a non-binding resolution that would be shared with school officials for consideration but does not require schools to adopt the program.
