Evidence
The congresswoman's FY26 Community Project Funding list includes "Old Bridge Food Bank Building Improvements," requesting $500,000 to expand and improve the building that houses the township food bank program.
Watson Coleman listed Old Bridge Food Bank Building Improvements for the Township of Old Bridge with $500,000 requested to expand and improve the food bank building.
Congress.gov lists H.R.5166 with latest House action on September 5, 2025, placed on the Union Calendar, and status as Introduced, not law.
The FY2026 status table lists Financial Services as H.R.5166 with committee approval and H. Rept. 119-236; the row does not show enactment or presidential approval.
The House Appropriations Committee said the FY2026 Financial Services and General Government measure was approved by the committee by a 35 to 28 vote.
Assessments
The available evidence shows Bonnie Watson Coleman formally requested $500,000 in FY26 Community Project Funding for Old Bridge Food Bank Building Improvements. That is a concrete federal appropriations effort directly aligned with the promise, but a request alone does not show the funding was enacted or awarded. Because the candidate materially advanced the promised outcome but the record here does not establish final delivery, the best judgment is unresolved rather than delivered or never.
