It was wonderful to connect with so many dedicated nonprofit organizations at today's Cape May County Nonprofit Summit, held at Atlantic Cape Community College.

Pictured is Lisa Boecker, Chair of our Outreach Committee, representing the Cape May Community Food Closet at this inspiring gathering.

We're proud to be part of a community where organizations come together to share ideas, build partnerships, and find new ways to make a difference for our Cape May County neighbors.
When we work together, our entire community benefits!

Happy National Eat Your Beans Day! 🫘

We’re bean thinking… there’s no better way to celebrate than by helping stock our Food Closet!

Beans are packed with protein, fiber, iron, and other essential nutrients, making them a healthy, affordable pantry staple. Whether they’re tossed into chili, soups, tacos, salads, rice bowls, or pasta dishes, beans help make delicious, filling meals.

If you’re looking to spill the beans on kindness today, consider donating canned beans to our Food Closet! Every can helps nourish local families, and other canned goods are always appreciated, too. 🤎
