Ramsey Irish Pub Donates Money To Community Food Bank Of NJ

RAMSEY, NJ — The Shannon Rose Irish Pub donated more than $1,600 to the Community Food Bank Of New Jersey.

Customers at the pub's Ramsey and Clifton locations were encouraged to add $1 or $5 to their checks to benefit the Mahwah-based nonprofit, which works to fight hunger. The pubs matched customer contributions.

The food bank is able to feed a family of four for just $5 and for every dollar it receives $8 worth of groceries is distributed to North Jersey feeding programs.
