The Gallery Residential Brokerage hosted its first-ever fall food drive from November 1-December 1 at their offices in Asbury Park and Wall, NJ. Donations were accepted at both locations, as well as at open houses throughout the month of November.
The Brokerage encouraged their staff, clients, and members of the local community to donate non-perishable, holiday-themed foods, such as stuffing, instant potatoes, cranberry sauce, gravy, canned vegetables, and pie filling. A grand total of 450 lbs. of food was collected from both offices and the open houses, which is the equivalent of 375 meals!
Our friends from Classic Moving and Storage and Lowy's Moving Service, a Wheaton World Wide Moving agent, were gracious enough to provide collection boxes to the Wall and Asbury Park offices, respectively. All of the donations were delivered to Fulfill, a food bank that supports more than 300 food pantries and soup kitchens in Monmouth and Ocean Counties.
Nearly 1 million people, including 1 in 7 children, in New Jersey face hunger every day. In Monmouth County alone, 1 in 10 families is affected by food insecurity and may rely on a food pantry to help make ends meet. Thank you to The Gallery Residential Brokerage, Lowy's Moving Service, Classic Moving Service, and all those who participated in the food drive for taking action and making a difference!
