The Caldwell Office of Kearny Federal, located at 417 Bloomfield Avenue, hosted a local food drive of non-perishable items to benefit community members in need of assistance.
The food drive was held during the spring months, to support the Caldwell Food Pantry and local neighborhood residents struggling to feed their families. “Most people tend to think about hunger during the holiday season,” Jennifer Hawley, Kearny Federal’s Vice President/Assistant Director Retail Banking North said. “In contrast, the summer months are the most difficult time for our nation’s food banks. During the school year, hungry children get the majority of their daily calories from free or discounted school lunches. When school is out of session, many of them face hunger. And that’s where we’re trying to help,” she added.
