New Year's Food Drive For The Needy In East Windsor

EAST WINDSOR TOWNSHIP, NJ — East Windsor is collecting food for those in need throughout the month of January, officials announced on Tuesday. The New Year’s Food Drive runs Jan. 1-31, 2018. The township will be collecting non-perishable food during the drive.

• The East Windsor Township municipal building at 16 Lanning Boulevard during regular business hours, 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.;
• The East Windsor Police/Court Building at 80 One Mile Road at any time; and
• The 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 Monday, Jan. 1, 2 p.m.

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.

“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 Township 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.”
