NJM Insurance Group is announcing Tuesday that it is making a $100,000 donation to support hunger relief organizations throughout the Mid-Atlantic region this holiday season – including the Community Foodbank of New Jersey.
NJM also is making contributions to organizations based throughout its coverage area, including Maryland, Connecticut, Pennsylvania and Ohio.
CEO Mitch Livingston said the company is delighted to help.
“Households across our nation continue struggling to put food on the table,” he said. “NJM is proud to help advance the vital efforts undertaken by non-profits on the frontline making a measurable impact on the lives of people facing hunger.”
Elizabeth McCarthy, the CEO of the CFBNJ, said her group is grateful for the donation.
“Nearly one million New Jersey residents, including more than 260,000 children, face food insecurity. Organizations like the Community Foodbank of New Jersey and so many others are at the forefront of this crisis,” she said. “We are grateful for corporate leaders like NJM and its generous support of our efforts to combat hunger in our communities.”
NJM’s community support efforts are rooted in a culture of purpose-driven service. The company directs charitable contributions throughout the year toward organizations that support arts and culture, health, education, social services, safety, and financial literacy.
NJM’s philanthropic efforts also extend beyond charitable donations. Community service programs offer employees opportunities to attend outreach events and volunteer their time and talents, including membership on multiple non-profit committees and boards. In addition, NJM’s Matching Donation Program provides a dollar-for-dollar match for employee contributions to a variety of organizations.
