🧀 Happy National Cheese Day! 🧀

Today, we’re celebrating one of our wonderful community partners, the Cheese Shop of Cape May. Through their participation as one of our Red Box merchants, they continue to support the Food Closet and help us serve local individuals and families in need.

We are incredibly grateful for their generosity and commitment to making a difference in our community.

If you’re in Cape May, be sure to stop by the Cheese Shop and treat yourself to some of their delicious cheeses, gourmet goodies, and specialty treats. Supporting local businesses that give back helps strengthen our entire community.

Our volunteers had a wonderful time gathering at the The Inn of Cape May for our Volunteer Dinner. 🍽️

Thank you to Amy, Linda, and Lori for organizing such an amazing evening filled with laughter, connection, and celebration. 🥂

We also want to give a special thank you to The Inn of Cape May for the delicious food and drinks that made the night even more special.

We also got to celebrate Nancy Benson as she turned 96 on Wednesday, May 20th! We are so proud of everything Nancy does for the food closet and grateful for the kindness and dedication she brings to our mission every day. 🎉

Most importantly, thank you to all of our incredible volunteers for the hard work, compassion, and time you give to the food closet every single day. Your dedication makes a difference in the lives of so many families in our community, and we truly could not do this work without you. ❤️

We bid a very fond farewell to Lucia Osiecki at the end of April. Lucia has been volunteering at the Food Closet for several years in numerous positions and was our Board Secretary.

Lucia is “retiring” from the Food Closet to focus on fighting food insecurity at Saint Barnabas by the Bay Food Pantry in Villas where her wife Deb Jones is the Executive Director.

We will miss Lucia’s commitment, good humor, and ready smile. Thank you for all you do for the community! 🥰❤️

May is National Salad Month! 🥗🌿

Salads are a fresh and simple way to add more vegetables, fruits, proteins, and healthy grains to your meals. Whether you enjoy a classic garden salad, fruit salad, pasta salad, or a protein-packed bowl, there are so many delicious ways to build a healthy plate.

We would also like to thank our local farms for helping provide our community with fresh produce and nutritious ingredients throughout the season. Supporting local agriculture helps keep our community healthy, connected, and thriving. 💚
