As Veterans Day approaches, we want to honor the Veterans here at Fulfill for their many years of service to our country and continued service to our neighbors here in Monmouth and Ocean Counties.
One of those is our very own Vice President of Operation, Jon Rowe, served in @AmericasNavy from 2008 to 2014, with two tours in Afghanistan. Following 9/11, Jon wanted to serve our Country and make a difference. He comes from a long line of Navy servicemen, including his grandfather, who fought in World War II.
Today, Jon’s impact extends beyond the Navy Yard, with hands-on efforts to support our neighbors facing food insecurity. From streamlining distribution processes and building partnerships with food manufacturers to leading our warehouse expansion, Jon plays a vital role in ensuring that food reaches those who need it most. Thank you Jon for your dedication and continued service to our community!

Happy #PrideMonth, New Jersey!
We are proud to stand with our LGBTQIA+ community, this month and always, to ensure New Jersey remains a beacon of inclusion and equality for the entire nation.
Children disproportionately experience food insecurity, and the times when school is out can be especially hard. Summer EBT will be a game changer. Thank you, @SpeakerCoughlin, the NJ Office of the Food Security Advocate, and @NJDA for making this happen for NJ!
Too many NJ kids have lost access to nutritious meals over summers. The new Summer EBT program will provide support for students and families to shop for healthy food when school is out of session. Please go to nj.gov/summerebt/ for info & share with your community. @NJDA

At @FulfillNJ’s #MLKDay2024 volunteers are not just sorting cans and packing boxes, they are urging Congress to fully #fundWIC to keep moms & babies from going hungry. Because MLK said to fight poverty we need acts of service AND acts of justice.

💳 SNAP helps about 40 million people across the country keep food on the table each month. Congress must ensure the next #FarmBill supports and strengthens SNAP to assist hardworking people facing tough times! #SNAPMatters

🧵 With reports that some lawmakers are considering #SNAP cuts through changes to the #ThriftyFoodPlan in the upcoming farm bill, let's be clear: SNAP benefits are modest & Congress shouldn’t shortchange vital food assistance for low-income families.
Honored to brief NJ Congressional Delegation on #FarmBill anti hunger priorities on behalf of @FulfillNJ alongside Lisa Pitz of @HungerFreeNJ & @AdeleHLaTourett of @CFBNJ. Here’s what we discussed: – at District of Columbia, USA

#FarmBill programs provided 1.5B meals to NJ residents facing hunger across all Congressional districts in FFY 2021. They are seniors, children, working families & ppl w disabilities - and they need our members of Congress to be champions! – at District of Columbia, USA
Many thanks to @RepJoshG’s team for organizing this listening session, and giving us the opportunity to share this vital information with our delegation! – at District of Columbia, USA

Happy to receive this reminder - thank you, @CoryBooker for sharing these words!
These requirements are not just mean, they’re ignorant. Because if you look into what ACTUALLY helps ppl escape poverty, conditioning resources for basic survival on jumping through an escalating set of hoops isn’t it. Disappointed is an understatement.
“You cannot escape poverty without work. You just can’t. It’s got to be a part of the solution. These requirements are not mean,” Rep. Dusty Johnson (R-S.D.) said, who helped negotiate the deal
