The Journey To Empowerment Starts Here!

About 15% of Prospect Park and Haledon households experience food insecurity. At New Hope, we respond with both emergency support and long-term solutions that help families put food on the table with dignity. Our food programs are rooted in respect, access, and empowerment.

COMMUNITY FOOD PANTRY

Our client-choice food pantry allows families to “shop” for groceries based on their needs and preferences. Each household receives a set number of items, creating a more dignified experience than pre-packed bags. Pantry appointments are available weekly for enrolled families. We currently serve over 2,000 individuals each year.

THE HARVEST BUYING CLUB

The Harvest is our long-term solution to food access. As a low-cost food buying club, it helps families stretch their grocery budgets beyond what the pantry can provide. Members access healthy food at wholesale prices, with monthly specials and SNAP-friendly options. By building a community-driven alternative to retail prices, The Harvest empowers families to take control of their food future.

EMERGENCY FOOD BAGS

For families facing an immediate crisis, we offer emergency food bags one day a week—no appointment necessary. Volunteers assist with check-in and intake to ensure every neighbor feels seen and supported.
