Nutley Educational Foundation’s 8th Annual Backpack Program
NEF in partnership with Nutley Family Service Bureau will again run our “We’ve Got Your Back” initiative. Thanks to the generosity of 2023 donors, we currently have approximately 30 backpacks ready for distribution to qualifying NFSB students. Since 2017 NEF has provided over 450 new, quality backpacks with supplies plus gift cards to NFSB student clients. We are calling out to all donors to help strengthen our reach for 2024. Our goal for 2024 is $4,000.
Please consider sending a monetary gift to Nutley Educational Foundation (NEF), P.O. Box 735, Nutley, NJ 07110 or donating on line at www.nutleyef.org so we may purchase additional backpacks and specific supplies for each grade level. $50 will support one student.
Deadline for donations is August 31, 2024.
Formed in 2003, NEF is a 501(c) (3), not for profit organization established solely to provide funding to support educational endeavors in the Township of Nutley.
Since a reorganization in 2015, NEF has supported more than $150,000 in educational projects benefiting the Nutley school district and community.
The Food Pantry
Unfortunately, life doesn’t always go as planned and something you’ve always taken for granted, like having enough food to eat, becomes difficult.
The Food Pantry can provide you with healthy, nutritious food and connect you with resources for additional assistance.
Appointments are scheduled every other week to allow time for personalized shopping at the Pantry.
We also provide senior home delivery and emergency assistance if you need food right away.
The Impact of Food Insecurity
Life is harder when you’re hungry.
Food insecurity can have a direct impact on performance at work and school, mental and physical health, relationships, and more.
Personalized "Shopping"
We offer healthy, nutritious food and enable clients to choose their own fresh produce and proteins and non-perishables.
We also deliver groceries to homebound seniors.
How to Get Started
There is no shame in seeking help!
Call for a confidential appointment. We’ll discuss your dietary needs and challenges and make sure you receive the assistance you need.
The NFSB Food Pantry is an inclusive environment, which guards client confidentiality and respects personal privacy.
Pantry personnel assist with the enrollment process. No documentation is required at this time when you self-declare and have a Nutley ID.
Food insecurity rates in our area are higher than the national average.
The NFSB Food Pantry is working to reverse those trends.
