Hospital Workers Who Live In Lacey Can Get Free Gift Cards

LACEY, NJ — Every Lacey resident who works in a hospital can get a gift card from Captain's Inn or Caffrey's. Lacey police organized the effort to thank all hospital staff during the novel-coronavirus crisis.

All hospital staff, regardless of position, are eligible for a $25 gift card from either location. Just display a hospital ID to receive the gift from either location. You can use it promptly for a takeout order or save it for later. This will remain in effect while supplies last.
