In New Jersey, about 650,000 people struggle with hunger—approximately 1 in 13. This includes 175,000 children. And these numbers are rising. As part of the Devil’s overall strategy to reduce food insecurity across our communities, the Devils Youth Foundation is raising $80,000 during the Playoffs to support the installation of a refrigerator at the Fulton Street Shelter in Newark.
