When you buy a ticket for select shows at the 2025 Prudential North to Shore Festival, $1 per ticket directly benefits Growing Healthy Pantries.

Growing Healthy Pantries is a partnership between Horizon Blue Cross Blue Shield of New Jersey, Community FoodBank of New Jersey, FoodBank of South Jersey, Fulfill, Mercer Street Friends, Norwescap and Feeding America, which addresses food security statewide and supports 1,000 food pantries across the state’s 21 counties.

The Growing Healthy Pantries Initiative is a collaborative effort among New Jersey’s five Feeding America food banks. The goal is to provide access to healthy food choices and resources to improve long-term household stability.

With more than 1,000 local pantries operating across the state, all at different levels of capacity, implementing healthy choice best practices will be a long-term effort requiring hands-on technical assistance and support. Your donation will support these efforts and help implement the best practices that lead to better nutritional and health outcomes for the more than 800,000 New Jerseyans who are food insecure.

“Beyond just providing emergency food to feed our neighbors in need for today, New Jersey’s food banks are also working to address the long-term causes and consequences of food insecurity, including lack of access to healthy options,” said Elizabeth McCarthy, President & CEO of the Community FoodBank of New Jersey. “Growing Healthy Pantries is one critical way that we’re promoting nutrition, choice, and dignity at pantries across the state to address hunger as a health issue. We’re so grateful to Horizon Blue Cross Blue Shield of New Jersey, NJPAC and Prudential North to Shore Festival for their continued commitment to our shared mission.”
