Axis Insurance Services is excited to announce its participation in a food drive for CUMAC this holiday season. As a long-time supporter of the Paterson, New Jersey-based food pantry, Axis has consistently demonstrated its commitment to combating hunger in the community. Over the years, employees have dedicated their time to volunteer efforts and have generously contributed to CUMAC's initiatives, reinforcing Axis’s role as a vital partner in one of the largest food pantries in the state. Last year, Axis made a significant impact by donating nearly 700 pounds of food, which helped provide meals for hundreds of families during the Christmas holidays. This year, the food drive will run until December 14th, allowing ample time for community members and employees alike to contribute to this worthy cause.

Mike Smith, CEO of Axis was proud of his staff in continuing to help this wonderful organization. “We are always thankful to have the opportunity to support CUMAC and all the remarkable things they do. Last year we contributed almost 700 pounds of food in our food drive. Hopefully, this year it will be even more

About CUMAC

CUMAC began its mission in the late 1970s when Hugh Dunlop, a Paterson teacher, noticed that his students could not focus in school due to a lack of adequate nutrition. With the helping hands of his church congregation, he began to collect food donations and started to chip away at the problem of hunger with his students and meet their needs. Hugh soon realized that the problem he saw among his students extended far beyond his classroom, but was and still is embedded in the community. A small pantry was created in Paterson to start alleviating this burden on individuals and families in his community. 

In 1985, the Center of United Methodist Aid to the Community Ecumenically Concerned with Helping Others, CUMAC/ECHO, was incorporated.
