Headquartered in Hackensack, the volunteer service’s mission is to assist persons with disabilities on their path to wellness and recovery with the goal of improving their overall quality of life. The food truck experience will enable members to gain work experience and a paid job to support their development, build their self-confidence and help to make them less dependent upon others.

To date, the OritaniBank Charitable Foundation has donated more than $300,000 to the NJFH to support the work that it does.
