Church of the Incarnation was founded in 1910 in Jersey City, at a time when African Americans in the neighborhood were traveling to upper Manhattan to find an Episcopal Church that welcomed them. On Sunday, Incarnation welcomed the Presiding Bishop of the Episcopal Church to celebrate the Eucharist, culminating a year-long centennial celebration.

Diane Riley and Evelyn Ibarra of The Community Food Bank of New Jersey talk about walking in the shoes of the hungry through the food stamp challenge:

“Can you live on $4.50 a day for food?” That is the question the Community Food Bank of New Jersey asked residents this week. The group organized its first Food Stamp Challenge to raise awareness about the program and show people how difficult it can be to rely on the assistance.

The average New Jersey resident who qualifies for the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), formerly known as food stamps, receives $31.50 per week to spend on food. A trip to the supermarket becomes more difficult with the limited budget, which can’t be used for all items in the store.
