Nutritional Support & Fighting Hunger
OneTeenWorld is committed to combating socioeconomics disparities and provide food for those in need. We hope you join us in our journeys in feeding not only Hunterdon County but all of New Jersey...
Brief Overview
It is a common misconception that nutrition only is a pressing issue in developing second and third world countries. Poverty couldn't possibly be here, right? Wrong.
Despite Hunterdon being one of the leaders in the nation for median household income, US Census data still found that 4.1% of Hunterdon County residents are living in poverty. That's 1 in 25 citizens of the 13th wealthiest county in the country as stated by the 2020 United States census.
What makes matters worse is that the cost of living is higher than average in Hunterdon.
One such example is this:
In 2022, though Hunterdon has experienced the greatest percentage growth in SNAP applicant, the county continues to have the lowest number of SNAP recipients in the state with only 3,132.
We need to get over the fact that we can't possibly believe that there are people starving in the neighborhood just across the street, and instead come together as a community to eliminate in Hunterdon.
