We are excited to invite you to our 9th Annual Breakfast Celebration on Thursday, December 5th, at 8:00 a.m. at The Clubhouse at Galloping Hill Golf Course in Kenilworth, New Jersey. We look forward to seeing familiar faces and meeting new ones, and we hope you can join us!
This year's panel discussion, Feeding the Future: Linking Food Security and Wellness for New Jersey's Kids, will explore the connection between food insecurity and children's health. Featured panelists Elizabeth McCarthy, President and CEO of the Community FoodBank of New Jersey, and Mark Dinglasan, Executive Director of the New Jersey Office of the Food Security Advocate, will emphasize the vital role of proper nutrition in children's development and academic success. This discussion comes as the state has expanded the eligibility requirements for students to receive free school meals for the second time in two years.
Thanks to our many partners, we have much to celebrate. Their invaluable support has been instrumental in securing significant victories for children and families, maintaining ACNJ's independence, and promoting equitable opportunities for all of New Jersey's children. Despite political changes, budget challenges, and competing state priorities, we have remained a consistent and credible advocate for kids, and the contribution of our partners has been a key part of our success.
Please consider becoming an ACNJ Sponsor today. Sponsors will be recognized prominently, both online and in print.
