SOMERVILLE, NJ – June is Curbing Hunger Month, and this year marks the 29th anniversary of the Curbing Hunger Inc. food drive when the non-profit organization collects food donations for Somerset County families in need. The Food Bank Network of Somerset County, serving more than 24,000 families each year, receives the donations and distributes food to food bank clients and other local food pantries.
“During the summer months food supplies are low because school lunch programs close and there are no holiday food drives. The county sponsors the food drive to help alleviate this shortage,” said Somerset County Commissioner Director Shanel Y. Robinson. “We are extremely grateful for the generous residents who donate to the program.”
*Curbing Hunger Night at TD Bank Ballpark, Tuesday, May 30
*Baseball fans can watch an exciting baseball game between the Portland Sea Dogs and the Somerset Patriots at TD Bank Ballpark and donate to Curbing Hunger on Tuesday, May 30, by dropping off canned goods at the entrance of the ballpark where representatives from Curbing Hunger, Inc. will be to collect donations.
*How to Donate
*Donating is easy. Look for an orange plastic bag tied to the handle of your county recycling bin – or if you do not receive an orange bag, use any plastic grocery bag and write the word “food” on it. Place canned food donations in one or more bags at the curb on your regularly scheduled recycling collection days from June 1 through 30.
“Donating online is a healthy alternative for people that don’t want to donate with their recycling. Just visit our website to select fresh fruits and vegetables, and the produce will be delivered directly to the Food Bank Network,” said Curbing Hunger Board President Chuck Knill. “We are grateful for any donations; whichever way people choose to donate.”
*Online Donations
*Donate online to have food delivered to the Food Bank Network of Somerset County. To donate visit www.Curbinghunger2023.org.
*Monetary Donations
*Send a check made payable to Curbing Hunger, Inc. at 140 South Finley Ave., Basking Ridge, NJ 07920.
