We're proud to announce that RWJBarnabas Health is expanding its partnership with the Princeton-based nonprofit Share My Meals across the health system to help feed more New Jersey families struggling with hunger. RWJBarnabas Health launched a pilot program last year at Robert Wood Johnson University Hospital Somerset in which surplus meals from the cafeteria were donated to Share My Meals to help support local families experiencing food insecurity. The program yielded over 5,200 meals served, saved 3.25 tons of food, and avoided 29,300 pounds of carbon emissions in the first year. Through this relationship with Share My Meals, each participating health system hospital has identified local partner organizations – such as a food pantry, soup kitchen or other community-focused entity – to donate surplus meals to, ensuring that nutritious food reaches those in need.
