NJCO is the lifeline for hundreds within our community.  Last year, over 7,200 families received groceries through our food pantry, and our daily lunch program served over 76,000 meals, providing critical nourishment for many who are homeless. 400 people a day come to the doors of New Journey, not only needing food, but seeking hope and comfort. 

Your donation will provide critical resources to our guests, including: 

Nutritious meals for our 400 daily guests

 Warm clothing and basic necessities

Connection to programs that empower individuals to rebuild their lives, including recovery services and housing services 

Medical care through our partnership with Reading Hospital Street Medicine Team 

A community table where all are welcome, with no barriers to service

 The funds raised during CNOY will help expand these vital services and ensure NJCO can continue its critical mission of providing food, warmth, and a sense of belonging to those in need.

"A", who is a daily guest of NJCO and has experienced homelessness, speaks to the profound impact the organization has on individuals like himself: “I was a stranger when I started coming to NJCO. I didn’t know much about them and they didn’t know me. They made me feel welcome. They never rushed me out. Now I volunteer at NJCO every day. This place has given me purpose. They believe I can do it so I believe I can do it.”

Together, we can provide more than just meals; we can offer warmth, companionship, and a path forward. Please donate and help us light up the coldest night of the year.
