For the fourth year in a row, Ms. Donna Bossone and her son, Xander, hosted a Fill-A-Truck food drive birthday event for Xander! The event was held at the Manasquan ACME on December 13th. By the end of the day, the truck was filled with 2,143 pounds of food! This collection is equal to 1,786 meals for those facing food insecurity in the Monmouth County community. What an amazing way to spend your 12th birthday!
Move For Hunger, with the generous help of Lowy's Moving Service, made this event possible by providing the supplies and transportation. At the end of the event, Lowy's Moving service picked up the 2,143 pounds of food and delivered the collection to The Food Bank of Monmouth and Ocean Counties.
On behalf of Move For Hunger, we want to express our appreciation of your determination to end hunger and applaud your enormous success! In Monmouth county, 10% of the population faces food insecurity; we extend a huge thank you to Donna, Xander, the team at Lowy's, and everybody who donated for helping fight this startling number.
Hope you had a great birthday, Xander!
