Projects
theBBNJ Farmers Market
Our largest food giveaway project. We work along with the community food bank of NJ to give away on average of 6,000+ pounds of fresh produce monthly, 2000+ pounds of pantry non-perishables, and 240 boxes of essentials. This feeds on average 360 - 420 families with healthy nutritious produce. We are working with the food bank to start adding cooking classes.
ZAKAT
Local zakat is extremely important, we are required to take care of our community prior to taking care of those overseas. The cases that we get are hard to hear about. Sisters & brothers facing food insecurity or eviction or medical expenses that they can not cover.
BBNJ has a local Zakat committee that has 0 overhead. 100% of all donated funds goes to people in need
