NEWARK, NJ For more than 40 years, Newark Emergency Services for Families (NESF) has worked to stabilize families and individuals in crises in the community and Greater Essex County, but nothing could have prepared the local non-profit organization for a global pandemic.
As COVID-19 dealt a devastating blow to the city Newark and the county, NESF’s shelter and food pantry drop-ins volume nearly quadrupled since March 2020 - with lines stretching as far as two blocks and parents standing with their children outside of the pantry’s doors.
