Volunteers & Supporters
IFPO leaders continue to work tirelessly and extensively to serve our neighbors during these challenging times. The IFPO distributes food and essential items on Wednesday mornings. We regularly assist 700 households per on-site distribution day. In 2024, we experienced over 27,600 pantry visits. This is an astonishing 130% increase over pre-Covid levels in 2019, when we saw 12,000 pantry visits.

The IFPO also works closely with the Community FoodBank of NJ to ensure that additional food is available each week in Orange and East Orange for their direct distribution to residents in need. Through this partnership, in addition to fresh and hearty produce boxes, each city received over 8,000 pounds of shelf-stable food in March 2025.
