East Windsor New Year's Food Drive Runs Through January

EAST WINDSOR TOWNSHIP, NJ — East Windsor Township’s “New Year’s Food Drive,” will run from Jan. 1, 2020 through Jan. 31, 2020, township officials announced. Non-perishable food items can be donated through the township food drive for distribution to local individuals and families at the East Windsor Township municipal building at 16 Lanning Boulevard during regular business hours, 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.

They can also be dropped off at the East Windsor Police/Court Building at 80 One Mile Road at any time, and at East Windsor Volunteer Fire Company No. 2 at 69 Twin Rivers Drive. Residents also are encouraged to bring food donations to the Township Reorganization meeting on Wednesday, Jan. 1, 2 p.m.

“As the holiday season and its special focus on good deeds passes, we want to remind everyone that the need for assistance to people in our area continues, and call upon our community’s proven spirit of generosity,” East Windsor Mayor Janice S. Mironov said. “As we begin a New Year, let us remember our neighbors who need our help and support, especially during the winter months. Typically, we understand that donations drop off after the holidays, and we hope that this special effort will help feed area people.”

All food will be given to the Food Pantry at RISE and the Green House Food Pantry at St. Anthony’s Church, for distribution to local individuals and families. Both are area-based organizations providing assistance to local individuals and families. For more information, call 609-443-4000, ext. 238.
