Radiant Energy & FulfillNJ Holiday Food Drive

Food Drive - bring hope to a family in need

As the season change, so too does the need in our communities. While many of us have our eyes on cozy blankets and comfort food, there are individuals and families struggling to put food on the table.

Food insecurity is a growing issue and it affects millions of people worldwide. According to Feeding America, 1 in 9 people in the US faces hunger, with higher rates in certain communities.

Radiant Energy Tattoo has teamed up with Fulfillnj.org to assist families and individuals in our community who may be in need due to financial hardship, loss of SNAP benefits, or whatever unexpected situation has caused vulnerability.

On their website, Fulfill has created this list of most needed items*:

  • Canned tuna, chicken & salmon

  • Canned veggies & beans

  • Cooking oils

  • Shelf-stable milk

  • Pancake mix and syrup

  • Peanut butter & jelly

  • Canned fruits

  • Fruit juice

  • Soups (Suggestions – chicken noodle, chicken & rice, beef vegetable)

  • Ready-to-eat canned meals (Suggestions -chili (bean, chicken, beef), stew (vegetable, chicken, beef), ravioli (cheese, beef), chicken w/rice & vegetables, spaghetti & meatballs)

  • Hot cereals (Suggestions: oatmeal, steel-cut oats, farina, muesli)

  • Cold cereals (Suggestions: Toasted O’s (original or honey nut), bran flakes, corn flakes, shredded wheat, Grape-Nuts, Special K, Fiber One cereals, Cascadian Farms cereals, Kashi cereals)

*Expired food cannot be accepted. Please be sure to check the dates before donating.

 Remember, every can of food, every donation, and every volunteer hour counts.  Whether we collect a little or a lot, it makes a difference in someone’s life.  By working together, we can make sure no one in our community has to go hungry.
