Dentist Launches Food Drive to Help Local Working Families

With the season of thanks and giving upon us, Dr. Steven Markowitz, DDS, is sponsoring an end-of-year food drive to provide for working families in need in our communities.

Dr. Markowitz, DDS, is partnering with Bentley Community Services, Inc., a designated 501(c)3 charitable organization, to collect and distribute healthful groceries, fresh produce, toiletries, household products and more to struggling families that do not qualify for assistance in our local area.  

Many families that need assistance today are the formerly employed or underemployed, are experiencing financial setbacks, and they need help. Through this collaboration between Dr. Markowitz and Bentley Community Services, families that are experiencing difficulty making ends meet but that do not qualify for assistance can receive help. Individuals and groups interested in contributing can bring healthful, non-perishable food items to Dr. Markowitz’s office at 3322 US-22, #1104, Branchburg.

Examples of healthful, non-perishable food items that you can bring to Dr. Markowitz’s office Monday through Thursday until Dec. 31 are pastas, rice, crackers, peanut butter, healthful cereals, oatmeal, jams, marinades, dressings, sauces, dried fruits, healthy snack bars, gluten free products, canned/packaged beans, canned fruit, healthy soups, spices, tuna fish, coffee tea, olive and vegetable oils, sugar, flour, juices, bottled water, and toiletries. 

For more information, please visit or contact the office of Dr. Markowitz at 908-595-1221.
