Did you know? Nearly 1 in 7 households in NJ face food insecurity.
That means more than 1 million people don't know where their next meal is coming from, or are forced to choose between paying a bill and buying groceries. Your company can help!

Corporate Volunteering
Will your company give you a day off to volunteer at CUMAC? Do you have a corporate group that would like a great team building exercise that would benefit our agency as well? Invest your time and talents at CUMAC! Our work relies heavily on volunteer labor. Projects range from sorting food to assembling donations to facility repairs, and are appropriate for individuals or groups on a one-time or ongoing basis. See our Act Against Hunger Team Building Initiative to learn more. But that's not all! There are plenty of ways you can fight hunger outside our building. Check out our list of opportunities below!
Food Drives
CUMAC distributes two million pounds of food a year and large portion of that comes to us via food drives. You can do a themed collection (soup around the Super Bowl), or create a competition between departments -- whatever it takes to increase donations. We can help with the logistics and pick-up.
Event Sponsorship
Our fundraising events can always use sponsors. This is a great way to get your company name in front of a new audience. Annual events include CUMAC's Have-A-Heart Auction in February, CUMAC's HELP Dinner in November, and several other events throughout the year.
Gifts In Kind
Does your company produce a product that may benefit CUMAC? Are you upgrading equipment or facilities? Would you like to promote your products or services by providing a gift card or item for our auction? Our needs range from office supplies to warehouse equipment to items we could auction at our annual fundraiser.
Matching Gifts
Does your company match charitable gifts? If so, you can double (or triple) the impact of your donation! CUMAC can help with the necessary paperwork.
Join Our Board Of Directors
Are you an expert in an arena the Board may benefit from -- like fundraising, warehousing, or responding to community needs? If you have a few hours a month, you may be able to make a huge impact in our work.
Grants
Does your company have a foundation or employee giving fund? If hunger or youth issues are a funding priority, CUMAC's feeding program or after school program would be great investments with proven results.
Cause Related Marketing
Have a product or service that aligns with CUMAC's mission? Increase sales by showing off your commitment to community, and promise a portion of proceeds to CUMAC. The possibilities are endless.
Knowledge Sharing
Are you an IT guru? Know warehousing? You may be able to support CUMAC's work by sharing your best practices.
Advocacy
CUMAC often needs to spread the word about issues affecting our clients -- like cuts to school meal programs. You can help share the need or join letter writing campaigns.
