Rahway Food For Friends, d/b/a Food For Friends, A NJ Nonprofit Corporation, was formed and incorporated in September 2012. 

Currently, we feed 80 to 90 people, encompassing all age groups - seniors, families with and without children, the disabled, walk-ins, those hungry, and many who are homeless.  Officially, in September, we became "Rahway Food For Friends" and formed a nonprofit corporation.  Our headquarters remained at 1221 New Brunswick Avenue, Rahway, NJ 07065, after the sale to the Seventh Day Adventist.  We currently rent two locations and manage the grounds and upkeep of both programs accordingly.  We continue to operate solely on a volunteer basis.  We have over 70 volunteers who come faithfully to serve those in need.
