There are no tickets and there is no fee for this event--the Patch website wouldn't let me post the event without filling in the blank for a location to purchase tickets. On the other hand, food donations are most welcome--read on below. It's going to be fun.
On Saturday, May 18, from 11 am to 2 pm, Lunch Break, a Red Bank soup kitchen (and much more) is holding their second annual Foodstock event at the Red Bank Middle School at 101 Harding Road in Red Bank. Lunch Break is calling on those communities to help stock the pantry shelves for the summer months, traditionally a difficult time of the year to collect food donations. The event will include refreshments, activities for children, and live music. Bridge of Books whose mission is to provide an ongoing source of gently used and new books to underprivileged and at-risk children will be handing out books during the event. Lunch Break guests, volunteers, and Friends of Lunch Break are invited to spend the afternoon enjoying good music, good food, good friends and their families.
Lunch Break sees the reality of increasing food insecurity in our own area. The community needs Lunch Break,and Lunch Break needs your help to feed our hungry. Items that are needed for the pantry include: canned beans, dry beans and lentils; canned fruits, vegetables, soups, stews, chili, tuna fish, and chicken; cereals; coffee, tea, 100% fruit juices; boxed macaroni & cheese, mashed potato mix, rice and rice mixes; mayonnaise, ketchup, mustard and vegetable oil; pasta and pasta sauces; peanut butter & jelly; salad dressings, individual portions of apple sauce, pudding snacks and juice boxes; sugar, flour cake mixes and icing; pancake mix and syrup.
