“Today’s groundbreaking of the Hudson County Community Market in Bayonne marks an important investment in our community and in the families who call Hudson County home. Every resident deserves access to fresh, nutritious food with dignity, and this consumer-choice pantry will give individuals and families the ability to select the foods that best meet their needs while expanding access to essential resources.

As the cost of living continues to impact working families, seniors, and individuals, projects like this are more important than ever. This new facility in Bayonne will help strengthen our community by providing greater food security while serving as a model for how we can support our neighbors with compassion and respect.

I am proud to join my colleagues and community partners in celebrating this milestone. Together, we will continue working to ensure Bayonne and communities throughout Hudson County have the resources they need to thrive and that every resident has the opportunity to live with dignity, stability, and hope.”
