Thank you to everyone who donated to our Christmas food baskets this year.  

Thank you as well to our "turkey benefactor" who provides our turkeys for Thanksgiving and Christmas, and to Foodtown in Red Bank who generously donated a gift card to help fill our food bags.  

We will continue to collect non-perishable food items benefiting local churches, in particular, soup, peanut butter and jelly and coffee or tea.

Thanks again,
