Providing and Creating Access to Healthy Foods Weekly, Facilitating Healthy Diets and Nutrition to Struggling, Working Families.
Bentley Community Services, Inc., a designated 501 (c) (3) charitable organization located at 4064 Route 1 North, Monmouth Junction, New Jersey, specifically addresses the needs of working families in financial crisis. Ineligible for assistance as they earn above state and federal guidelines, these low, moderate and higher income families are not reaching financial stability and security. The “working poor” are the most under served population in America. These families are in financial crisis in food insecure households, as research shows they cut back on groceries and basic needs in order to pay their mortgage, rent, utilities and other important monthly expenses. These working families are not on the SNAP program for relief or other assistance as they do not qualify. With numerous job lay-offs, individuals working fewer hours and earning less pay, the higher costs of living and groceries, diminishing healthcare, an unforeseen emergency or medical expenses, so many working families are struggling in the lingering, unstable economy. By Bentley Community Services (BCS) providing meats, chicken, dairy, fresh quality breads and baked goods, fresh vegetables and fruits, non-perishables, toiletries, household products, adult education and resources, the money they save on these crucial staples enables BCS families to pursue goals that move them away from the bankruptcies, evictions and foreclosures that threaten them, and on to financial stability. Their households are food secure with nutritious, healthy foods to feed their family. They apply this savings towards their monthly bills and expenses, pay down debts, allocate monies for repairs and feed their family healthy, nourishing, wholesome foods as they move forward towards financial solvency. We have created access to healthy foods for these families facilitating healthy diets.
