So many people are starving – here in New Jersey. Things are dire. People have lost jobs, and can’t pay their bills.
Shop for your family and just give a $1 at the checkout point to help hunger.
Grab one can of food – or a box of oatmeal or something to donate to your local food pantry.
Though we have a list here for Thanksgiving turkeys, please remember: people are hungry every day.
Let’s all pitch in and help out.
It’s not just the financial banks that are struggling – it’s the Community Food Bank of New Jersey too.
Watch the video below.
Here is a list of how you can help less fortunate people in our area enjoy a Thanksgiving meal. And, while you’re at it, why not help replenish the shelves of our local food pantry’s? This year, with so many more people out of work, it’s important to reach out and help out.
