The Englewood Park and Recreation Department teamed up with the Community Food Bank of New Jersey to serve up summer meals at the local pool.
With assistance from Hunger Free New Jersey, the new program was marketed through a variety of organizations, including Center for Food Action, the Englewood Public Library, Bergen Family Center, Women’s Rights and Information Center and the City of Englewood. A kickoff event with Englewood Mayor Michael Wildes helped boost attendance at this new program, which launched in 2019. Englewood continues to expand summer meals service to its children through these successful partnerships.
