RCAO Emergency Needs Program
RCAO's Emergency Food Pantry Program serves over 100 families per week. Distributions take place every Wednesday, and by appointment if necessary.
We are known as a "destination site" because we prioritize nutritious options like eggs, dairy, and produce. With the increase in the number of seniors served, and children with health concerns, we have included medically necessary foods, such as low-salt, low-sugar, variable milk options, etc. We are also intentional in providing culturally relevant items due to the changing demographics in our area.
For more information about the RCAO Emergency Needs Program, call (732) 382-9311 or email info@rahwaycao.org.
This project is made possible as a partner agency of the Community FoodBank of New Jersey and through their Capacity Investment Grant Program made possible with funds from the New Jersey Department of Agriculture.
