Overview

Mission

Safe Passage restores dignity and builds economic self-sufficiency for South Jersey families through integrated programs in food security, housing, and skilled-trades workforce development

What it reported doing in 2025

Safe Passage Community Food Pantry strengthened its role as a vital lifeline for families across Camden and the South Jersey region. Through compassionate service, expanded partnerships, and a commitment to dignity centered care, we provided consistent access to nutritious food and essential household items for our neighbors facing food insecurity and economic hardship. Our pantry served an average of 251 households each month, including 556 adults and 403 children. Demand continued to rise during the summer months when school-based meal programs were unavailable, reflecting the ongoing challenges faced by seniors, and working families who earn above the federal poverty level but still cannot afford basic necessities. With support from the Food Bank of South Jersey and community partners, we distributed thousands of pounds of fresh produce, proteins, shelf-stable goods, diapers, hygiene products, household items, and other critical non-food essentials that families cannot afford on their own.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 100% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.

The verdict

SUPPORTED - The filed numbers largely add up and most voting board members are independent. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered.
