As COVID-19 continues to affect every aspect of our lives, food insecurity has been particularly challenging for many of our patients already experiencing hardships. Cooper has partnered with TOUCH NJ and the Food Bank of South Jersey for two programs to help support patients in need. Due to a Federal contract disruption, our Monday TOUCH NJ food box program is undergoing several changes. The next distribution on December 14, 2020, from 10 a.m. to noon, will include a handful of non-perishable staple items instead of a box. After the December 14 date we anticipate resuming again in January 2021. More information will follow as we approach the new year. The Wednesday pediatric distribution will continue without any changes.
As a reminder, Cooper patients are prioritized and supplies are limited.
