Social Studies Local C.E.-SB FOOD PANTRY

This week in South Brunswick, a report and studies show that becuase of poeple losing their jobs, they need help. We all know what that means right? Food Pantry! Word is trying to be spread to let others know to do their share and donate some food to the food pantry. Here in South Brunswick about 40 families in 2008 have used the Pantry becuase they have no other choice! It is important that we take care of each other, becuase if not, we might not even live becuase of hunger. Some people are very generous and go almost everyday to drop off a WHOLE BOX of canned goods; But the Social Services Director LouAnne Wolf also said that diapers, disposable utensils, and canned meats are also needed. Last year, in 2008, about $73,000 was spent on gift cards and services needed! Donations for 2009 are pretty strong for right now, but the Pantry could always use more. I think it's important that we all pitch in,becuase if everyone put one item in, it equals a lot for those families.
