Pine Beach Police Raise $1K For Veterans' Mental Health Foundation

PINE BEACH, NJ - One thousand dollars raised by the Pine Beach Police Department was donated to a soldier mental health nonprofit, police officials said.

The sum was donated to the Redondo Foundation at a Pine Beach council meeting earlier this month, the Pine Beach Police Department wrote in a statement. All the funds were raised by officers during No Shave November.

“The officers were honored to be able to make a donation to such a great cause,” the Pine Beach Police Department said in a statement.

The Redondo Foundation is a nonprofit aimed at assisting veterans in post-traumatic growth and wellness.

“Thank you to Chief Brown, the Pine Beach Police Department, as well as the Mayor and Council for their support,” the Redondo Foundation wrote in a Facebook statement. “Donations, like yours, helps us to continue our mission in helping veterans.”
