Newark has been consistent in trying to make sure no one goes hungry.
"Turnout has been incredible," Chief of Staff Amiri Baraka said. "I mean we see the need is a huge turnout of folks, not only for Newark, but the surrounding areas as well."
The event happened along Elizabeth Avenue where Newark police shut down part of the street. People drove up to receive boxes of food.
This has become an important weekly effort, providing necessities and community.
Baraka says the food operation was started about six months ago.
