Citizens for Judicial Fairness Donates $10,000 to Food Bank of Delaware to Support Statewide Fight Against Food Insecurity
Donation is part of CJF’s broader effort to uplift grassroots work and promote equitable, representative leadership across the state
NEWARK, Del.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Citizens for Judicial Fairness (CJF), an advocacy organization committed to promoting transparency and diversity in Delaware’s courts and public leadership, today presented a $10,000 donation to the Food Bank of Delaware to support its ongoing efforts to combat hunger and provide essential services to families in need.
The donation underscores CJF’s growing investment in Delaware’s community infrastructure, aligning its mission for judicial and institutional fairness with support for on-the-ground work that fosters resilience and equity.
“In the face of uncertainty brought on by recent federal decisions, I’m incredibly grateful to have community partners like Citizens for Judicial Fairness. Their generous donation to the Food Bank of Delaware helps ensure this vital organization can continue its important work—serving thousands of Delaware families and bringing hope to those who need it most,” said Delaware House Speaker Melissa Minor-Brown.
The event, held at the Food Bank’s Newark facility, brought together elected officials, nonprofit leaders, and community members to celebrate the power of collaboration in advancing equity and access for all Delawareans.
“At Citizens for Judicial Fairness, our mission is to promote transparency, accountability, and fairness in leadership—especially within our courts and institutions,” said Jackie Griffith, Executive Director of Citizens for Judicial Fairness. “But lasting change requires more than policy reform; it requires strong, resilient communities. That’s why we’re proud to support the Food Bank of Delaware. Their work not only addresses food insecurity, it helps build the kind of civic strength that empowers people to engage, lead, and demand more representative leadership. A more resilient Delaware is the foundation for a fairer Delaware—and we’re honored to be part of that effort.”
The Food Bank of Delaware serves tens of thousands of residents each year, providing nutritious meals and vital support services while advocating for long-term solutions to hunger and poverty. CJF’s donation will help expand these efforts at a time when demand for food assistance remains high across the state.
“We’re grateful to Citizens for Judicial Fairness for this generous gift,” said Chad Robinson, Vice President of External Affairs at the Food Bank of Delaware. “Tackling food insecurity takes a village —all of us can play a role - nonprofits, the public sector, and private partners. Together, we are working towards a Delaware where no person struggles with how to put food on their table and showing the world how good things happen when we work together.”
This contribution is one of several CJF has made to local organizations in recent months as part of its effort to build momentum for a more inclusive, responsive, and transparent system of governance in Delaware. Earlier this year, CJF also donated $10,000 to the Police Athletic League of Wilmington’s D.I.V.A.S. program, which empowers young women through entrepreneurship, leadership development, and mentoring—further demonstrating CJF’s commitment to uplifting grassroots efforts that create real opportunities for Delawareans.
