After holding two successful food drives in Lavallette and Bay Head, Brian and Eric Barr of Feeling Swell set out to collect even more food down the Jersey Shore. The brothers distributed bags to local residences throughout Point Pleasant, and asked the community to fill the bags with non-perishable goods to help provide meals for their neighbors in need.
Together they collected an outstanding 1,200 pounds of food, which translates to 1,000 meals!
Lowy's Moving Service, a Wheaton agent, volunteered their time and resources to deliver all of the donations to St. Gregory's Food Pantry in Point Pleasant.
Feeling Swell was founded by the brothers to “unite the greater surf and beach communities to support local charities” and “help our neighbors Feel Swell.”
Over 119,000 people struggle with food insecurity in Monmouth and Ocean Counties, including 1 in 6 children. Thank you Feeling Swell and Lowy's Moving Service for their constant dedication to fighting hunger in New Jersey!
