The Alliance Center for Independence (ACI), with support from the NJ Pandemic Relief Fund, is helping to alleviate food insecurity facing low income disabled individuals and their families during the COVID-19 pandemic.
As part of our efforts, we will be distributing grocery store gift cards to 100 approved individuals and/or families. Approved recipients/households will receive a $100 gift card for two consecutive months, for a total of $200. The gift cards are intended to supplement existing benefits, such as SNAP.
UPDATE (6/18/2020): We are no longer accepting applications. All of the gift cards have been claimed. If you need food assistance, the ACI Food Pantry is still open under limited days and hours during the pandemic.
UPDATE (7/10/2020): ACI, in cooperation with the NJ Pandemic Relief Fund, will be distributing supermarket gift cards within the next couple of weeks to people with disabilities and their families. ACI has chosen the first 100 recipients who applied. Those of you receiving a gift card have been contacted by ACI either by phone and/or email. If you have not received an email or call, you have not been selected. We received an overwhelming reply for the gift cards, but were only able to provide to the first 100 people. Please do not call the office if you have not heard from us. Thank you for your understanding.
If you or your family are in need of food, please contact Argenys Caba at 732-738-4388 to make an appointment for the food pantry (curbside only). If you do not live in the Edison area, we will be happy to provide you with a list of food pantries in your county.
