SJFMC provides help for families in need during the pandemic and beyond with free food giveaways at our Pleasantville and Atlantic City Health Centers. We distributed more than 1,200 boxes of produce, back to school, and high demand items during our National Health Center Week events on August 15 and again on August 29. “Our community has been adversely affected by COVID-19,” said Linda Flake, president, and CEO of Southern Jersey Family Medical Centers. “People are out of work, struggling to get food on the table. The pandemic has forced many to choose between paying the bills and buying food. This year, we’re trying to meet the need for food. The need is tremendous.” The event was held in partnership with the Community Food Bank of New Jersey’s COVID-19 Food Assistance Program.
