Food assistance available in September

NEWTON — Fresh, refrigerated and frozen foods are available to northwestern New Jersey residents at reduced prices through the Jolin Food Box program.

The food assistance program offers a variety of ordering options, from breakfast-lunch-dinner combination packs to boxes of dinner entrees to special packages just for children. Each month features a variety of high-quality menu items from seafood and poultry to baked goods and prepared meals. The price of a single box ranges from $20-$40. There is no limit to the number of boxes an individual or family can purchase, and the menu changes each month.

Interested residents can order online with a credit card at www.jolinfoodbox.com or by calling Project Self-Sufficiency at 973-940-3500. Payment is made when the order is placed. The next deadline for placing an order is Tuesday, Sept. 15; delivery will be made to Project Self-Sufficiency on Saturday, Sept. 26.
