Holmdel Kiwanis Collects 2,000+ Pounds Of Food For Thanksgiving

HOLMDEL, NJ — Standing outside Best Market in Holmdel on Saturday, November 16 and Sunday, November 17 the Holmdel Kiwanis collected more than 2,000 pounds of food! You might have noticed your neighbors out there from 10-3 each day.

Recognizing that not everyone has the ability to provide a Thanksgiving dinner, the collection was done for the St. Vincent DePaul Society at St. Katherine’s in Holmdel and St. John’s Church in Hazlet. Pictured are Jim Colby, board member and Mac Maloney, a member.

The Holmdel Kiwanis is a group of like-minded citizens dedicated to changing their community by improving the lives of local children and their families.

Their first fundraiser in 2020, to which the public is invited, will be their tenth annual Steak Bake. Held February 29 from 6-9 p.m. at the Knights of Columbus on Highway 35 in Hazlet, the meal is, of course, steak but also chicken, pork roast, salad, pasta and dessert (cash bar) all for the unbelievable price of only $45. To purchase tickets, call Lenny Sasso @ 908-902-0582 or e-mail him at nsasso25@comcast.net. Help us help our community!
