Interventions to Address Stated Need

Pantry at the Plex : a healthful food pantry offered at the William L. Gormely HealthPlex in Atlantic City for patients deemed food insecure. Summer Meals Lunch & Learn Series: a partnership with the Community Food Bank of New Jersey, where nutritious meals are offered to children and their parents with limited resources during the summer months, when school is not in session, and children and families are at greatest risk to be food insecure. Meals are complemented with yoga, art classes, and other educational offerings to enrich youth as well. Pop-Up FarmMarkets: Pop-up produce markets occur at the William L. Gormley HealthPlex at least two times a month, and periodically in the surrounding community, providing fresh fruits and vegetables to patients, visitors, and Atlantic City residents.
