Giving Back Is Celebrated By Monmouth Prosecutor's Office

FREEHOLD, NJ — Members of the Monmouth County Prosecutor's Office, along with officers from the Asbury Park Police Department, participated in a recent Thanksgiving Day food distribution event in Asbury Park.

And in a post on its Facebook site, the office took some time away from its legal responsibilities to talk about generosity and hope on a day now set aside as "Giving Tuesday."

"Giving Tuesday is an opportunity for people and communities to come together in the spirit of generosity. No matter what or how you decide to give, generosity in helping others, in any form, is a priceless gift," the post said.

According to the movement's website, Giving Tuesday "reimagines a world built upon shared humanity and generosity. Our global network collaborates year-round to inspire generosity around the world, with a common mission to build a world where generosity is part of everyday life."
