Mission

THE ORGANIZATIONS MISSION IS TO FIGHT HUNGER AND ITS ROOT CAUSES THROUGH A HOLISTIC, TRAUMA-INFORMED APPROACH THAT PROVIDES GROCERIES AND BASIC NECESSITIES TO FAMILIES AND INDIVIDUALS IN NEED.

  • FOOD PROCUREMENT AND DISTRIBUTIONCUMAC offers a choice marketplace where clients can choose the food they need to make healthy meals for their families. The marketplace offers monthly groceries to over 53,000 people. Client choice means that our families can make meals that fit their preferences and culture. The CUMAC Food Depot is a warehouse that stores, moves, and sorts all of CUMACs food donations, rescue and gleaning food, and food bank allocations for distribution to defined partners and areas of need throughout northern New Jersey.

    Expenses $7,470,739

  • COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT AND OUTREACHAlong with providing our guests with nutritious, culturally appropriate groceries, CUMAC's Community Advocates support the people we serve by assisting individuals to apply for financial resources such as SNAP, LIHEAP and Medicaid. We disseminate important information about nutrition, vaccinations, and overall healthy living. All of our work is supplemented by trauma-informed conversations where we discuss the effects of adversity, stress and the importance of resilience. We partner with community members to ensure that people have the resources they need to lead healthy, independent lives.

    Expenses $407,799

  • HOUSING PROCUREMENT Place of Promise is a permanent supportive housing program that serves chronically homeless individuals. Each community member receives support as they set and meet personal goals and connect to resources that will help them to become more self-sufficient and live healthy and productive lives.

On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those.
