The mission

What this organization describes

Food Changes Lives

Since 1989, Elijah's Promise has used food as a tool to alleviate hunger, empower lives and invite justice for the most vulnerable members of our Central New Jersey community. We operate a community soup kitchen, culinary arts school, catering business, pay-as-you-can café, and connect low-income individuals and families with social and health services. We fight to end hunger through promoting good food for all, providing education and jobs in the food industry, and creating social enterprise food businesses that create social good. We envision a community where no one goes hungry for lack of food or funds; where a good meal is a nutritious meal; where our community learns to steward natural and financial resources wisely; and where we make opportunity available to those who seek
