ENGLEWOOD, N.J., Oct. 15, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — The Center for Food Action (CFA) will host its 49th Annual Fall Fundraiser on Thursday, October 23, 2025, from 6:00 to 9:00 p.m. at the Teaneck Marriott at Glenpointe.

The event will celebrate a new generation of community advocates through the inaugural Next Generation Nourish Awards, which highlight local youth who are making a meaningful impact in the fight against hunger and poverty to help children and families thrive.

“When young people step up, they bring new energy, vision, and hope,” said Nicole Davis, Director of the Center for Food Action. “Our honorees show us what’s possible when the youth channel their energy and creativity into helping others. Their work shows us that the next generation isn’t waiting for tomorrow, they’re making a difference today, and we are proud to celebrate their impact.”

The Nourish Awards will honor Leah Gaber of Saddle River Day School, Kaitlyn Klaus of the University of Mississippi, the Girl Scout Troops of Englewood, Fort Lee, Old Tappan, and Oradell, and PIM Brands. CFA will also conduct a ribbon-cutting ceremony for a new mobile pantry, which will enhance the organization’s ability to reach families in need across northern New Jersey.

All proceeds from the fundraiser will directly support CFA’s programs, which provide emergency food, housing assistance, and advocacy for thousands of New Jersey families. Learn more, or purchase tickets here: https://CFANJ.short.gy/FallFundraiser
