State Food Purchase Program (SFPP)
Governor Jon S. Corzine included funding in the FY 2007 State Budget to initiate the State Food Purchase Program (SFPP) that is distributing $3 million for the purchase of healthy and nutritious foods to feed 500,000 more people affected by hunger and $1 million to help the state's emergency feeding operations expand their storage capacity and upgrade food-preparation equipment.
