ABOUT SOUP KITCHEN 411

Soup Kitchen 411’s flagship program, FeedNJ, commenced to combat food insecurity heightened by the COVID-19 pandemic; providing support to struggling restaurants and stimulating local economies. Through this initiative, FeedNJ has purchased over 750,000 meals from March 2020 until its conclusion in September 2023. Thanks to the generous support of our donors and grants from the State of New Jersey, more than $9 million has been invested in New Jersey to help feed those in need.

In the post-pandemic era, food insecurity and nutrition remain a significant societal challenge. Funds raised through Taste of the State directly support this mission and help expand vital programs in 2026 and beyond, including the Sandwich Circle and increased meal distribution efforts across New Jersey.
