In the fall, Monmouth University graduate students who are members of the National Student Speech Language Hearing Association (NSSLHA), organized a food drive to fight hunger in Monmouth and Ocean Counties. The event took place from November 6-20, just in time for Thanksgiving. All students, faculty, and staff were encouraged to donate non-perishable items to help support the effort. More than 70 lbs. of food was collected, which is enough to provide 60 meals to local families in need!
Our friends at Lowy's Moving Service, a Wheaton agent, worked with the students to help make it possible. They Lowy's team generously provided the donation boxes and delivered the goods to Fulfill, which works closely with 300 food pantries and soup kitchens to end hunger in the Garden State!
More than 114,00 people in Monmouth and Ocean Counties face hunger on a daily basis, including 1 in 7 children.
Thank you to the students, faculty, and staff at Monmouth University, to Lowy's Moving Service, and anyone who made a donation for making a positive impact on your community!
