The Community Food Bank of New Jersey- Southern Branch is the state’s largest provider of donated foods to over 300 partner charities in Atlantic, Cape May and Cumberland counties. Let Us Eat - Please, Inc. is a summer feeding program created by Cooper Levenson founding partner James L. Cooper, designed to ensure that underprivileged children get enough to eat during the summer months, while out of school. Both organizations heavily depend on the kindness and generosity of friends and supporters to help feed those who would otherwise go hungry. As the need for donations is always rising, these charities are seeking help from the community to continue their mission of making a positive difference in the lives of those less fortunate.
