The Bearded Barber is known for their great haircuts AND their commitment to fighting hunger in the Garden State. The Scotch Plains, NJ barbershop held its 3rd annual food drive from November 13-19 and collected 155 lbs. of food, enough to provide 130 meals! It was a record-setting event for The Bearded Barber and brings their all-time total to 375 lbs. of food!
Our friends from University Van Lines, an Atlas Van Lines agent, volunteered to deliver all of the donations to the Community FoodBank of New Jersey.
In Union County, nearly 55,000 people experience food insecurity, including 1 in 8 children. Thank you to Bearded Barber, University Van Lines, and everyone who made a donation! We're looking forward to collecting even more food this year!
