Woodbridge Holding A Town-Wide Election Themed Food Drive

WOODBRIDGE, NJ-- You can make a difference in more than one way at the voting booth this November, with Woodbridge High School's Cast-A-Can-When-You-Cast-Your-Vote food drive.

Voters are asked to drop off non-perishable food items while casting their votes at Woodbridge polling centers on Election Day, Nov. 8, to benefit local residents.

“The ‘Cast-A-Can-When-You-Cast-Your-Vote’ food drive is synonymous with Election Day in Woodbridge Township and is one of the most significant efforts we as a community participate in to assist our neighbors and families,” Mayor McCormac said. “The Election Day food drive is even more important this year, as more and more residents are seeking help and assistance from our food pantries."

Woodbridge High School students partner with the Municipal Clerk's Office and the Board of Elections to place drop off containers in 32 different polling locations. After polls close, students collect the boxes and distribute them to the Township Health Center for sorting and distribution.
