NJ Rise

05/31/2026

So far this year, RISE has welcomed and supported 146 new households, representing 292 individuals in our community who have turned to us for help. Behind every number is a family facing challenges, a parent working to provide for their children, or a neighbor navigating difficult circumstances.

As the need continues to grow, we invite you to help ensure these families receive the support they deserve. Please consider making a donation through our virtual pantry and help us continue providing hope, stability, and essential resources to those who need them most.

While on leave, your job may be protected under state or federal law, or both. The New Jersey Family Leave Act (NJFLA) provides eligible employees of covered employers up to 12 weeks of job-protected leave in a 24-month period to care for a loved one or bond with a new child.

If you are able to volunteer with us tomorrow or Friday, we would greatly appreciate the extra hands to stock shelves and assist shoppers! A brief volunteer orientation is held at the beginning of each shift to provide instruction. 🫶
