The program launching in January will shift from weekly car lines to a permanent pantry
The onset of the COVID-19 pandemic made the hunger crisis in New Jersey even worse. But in March 2020 the Meadowlands area YMCA, sprang into action and began distributing food to families who would drive up in their cars to receive packages of food. At times there would be a line of 300 cars stretched a mile long. But that long line will soon be a thing of the past.
