Once again, community comes to Food Pantry’s aid

No one can say that the South Brunswick community does not care about its own. With a heavy push in the final week, the township Food Pantry exceeded its goal and collected nearly $50,000 in cash and $15,000 in food over a 10-week period.

That means the pantry should receive additional cash from the Feinstein Foundation, which challenges anti-hunger agencies across the country to raise funds and collect as many food donations as possible. The township is now eligible for a cut of the $230 million pie.

Kudos to the community, especially in such difficult economic times.
