EVENT INFO:
Ladies for America First, Inc. is excited to launch its semi-annual Patriots Pantry Food Drive, and this time, we’re proud to team up with Vetwork to support the veterans of Ocean County, New Jersey. Vetwork, a nonprofit founded by veterans over 40 years ago, has been dedicated to serving local veterans and their families. Did you know that Ocean County has the largest veteran population of any county in New Jersey? Our veterans deserve our help, and together, we make a real difference!
Our mission continues to provide essential food and personal items to New Jersey’s veterans, and we need your support to reach our goal. Our last drive, which benefited veterans at the Lyons VA Hospital, was a tremendous success, delivering over 3,000 pounds of food and personal items and more than $3,000 in gift cards. Together, we’ve already made a powerful impact — now, let’s break that record and show our veterans just how much we care!
100% of your donations — whether food, gift cards, or monetary contributions — will go directly to our veterans. Every item you donate makes a meaningful difference.
You can drop off your donations directly at the Vetwork Food Pantry located at: 102 Station Drive, Forked River, NJ 08731 Monday through Thursday from 8:30 AM – 4:30 PM.
Yes, this seems to be a food fight. OMG !!!
I AM HUNGER IN AMERICA
“For many people, hunger in America is invisible. They don’t know what it looks like or feels like. We wanted to find a unique way to tell people’s stories and give them a voice, so that more people understand what happens every day in America,” said Catherine Davis, Chief Marketing & Communications Officer at Feeding America. “This PSA campaign challenges people to see hunger in a different way by creating a lifelike portrait that represents the millions of real people who experience hunger.” READ MORE .
