TMJF launches Hunger Relief initiatives in Louisiana and New Jersey

As part of Hunger Action Month, TMJF helps combat food insecurity with initiatives to feed 40,000 children in South Jersey and hundreds of New Orleans’ families

September 21, 2020 - This week 2x Super Bowl Champion and 3x Pro-Bowl New Orleans Saints Safety Malcolm Jenkins and The Malcolm Jenkins Foundation (TMJF) launched new hunger relief initiatives in New Orleans and South Jersey to support the fight against food insecurity. 

Since 2014, TMJF has conducted Get Ready Fest™, the Foundation’s signature community outreach event that provides hundreds of pre-identified families with food, health and wellness products and essential resources.  Due to the impact of COVID-19 on impoverished communities, The Foundation recognizes its’ importance to continue its hunger relief efforts and help those suffering from a lack of access to food and nutrition with an area of focus in New Orleans and South Jersey. 

GET READY FEST - FEEDING THE 504

As part of its 10th Anniversary year, TMJF initiated its “Get Ready Fest™ – Feeding the 504” in collaboration with the Winn-Dixie Gives Foundation, Second Harvest of South Louisiana and the Broadmoor Improvement Association Food Pantry. In light of the pandemic, an active hurricane season and the alarming fact that one in four children is suffering from food insecurity in Louisiana, TMJF is committed in their partnership to feed 504 families every month in the New Orleans community through the end of 2020. “Get Ready Fest™ – Feeding the 504” will allow the Broadmoor Food Pantry to double the number of families it serves on a monthly basis in the 504 area code, who are living in poverty-stricken conditions.

“Far too many children go to bed hungry, and the impact of Covid-19 has been devastating for families. ”

#GIVE40

Additionally, the Foundation joins the Food Bank of South Jersey (FBSJ) in their mission to combat food insecurity by donating $10,000 to the organization. Help is still needed. In South Jersey alone, 40,000 children are starting the school year facing hunger. The critical need for food assistance in these communities of South Jersey has sparked the Give40 to Help 40,000 Children initiative. Donors are encouraged to participate in Hunger Action Month along with TMJF, as it only takes $40 to provide 120 meals for food-insecure children.
