New Year Food Drive In East Windsor Through Jan. 31

EAST WINDSOR, NJ — The township will be hosting a New Year food drive through Jan. 31. Items collected from the drive will be distributed to local residents in need.

Non-perishable food items can be dropped off at the East Windsor Township municipal building (16 Lanning Boulevard) during regular business hours from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.; at the East Windsor Police/Court Building (80 One Mile Road) at any time; and at East Windsor Volunteer Fire Company No. 2 (69 Twin Rivers Drive).

Food donations can also be dropped off at the East Windsor Township reorganization meeting on Tuesday, 6 p.m. at the Senior Center.

“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," Mayor Janice 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 for distribution to local individuals and families. For more information call (609) 443-4000, ext. 238.
