The Community FoodBank of New Jersey offers no-cost job training programs to provide students with the professional and interpersonal skills they need to earn a livable wage.

This program has no out-of-pocket cost to students, as grants through the New Jersey Department of Labor and private scholarships are available for those who qualify. We offer students monthly 2-zone bus passes or gas checks in the amount of $78 per month to cover the expenses of coming to our warehouse in Hillside.
