Sea Breeze Residents Organize Collection For Lacey Food Bank

LACEY, NJ — Now that Halloween is less than two weeks away, that means the season of giving is getting closer.

The Sea Breeze Social Committee in Lacey got a head start — as they do every year, according to the Lacey Food Bank.

“The homeowners at Sea Breeze of Lacey have long been supporters and even volunteers of the Lacey Food Bank and so, despite the continuing health guidelines they were determined to continue with their annual support project,” the organization said in a statement.

Taking a cue from the drive-by food distributions that have become the norm, they held a drive-by of their own.

Trunks up, Sea Breeze residents drove by and dropped their donations in the waiting cars belonging to the committee members.

Residents collected enough groceries to fill more than a dozen shopping carts, or 218 bags, that will be distributed this holiday season.

“They also gifted us with a generous donation that we can use to fill in our most needed items. Thank You Sea Breeze Social Committee and Sea Breeze residents for this generous donation and for your continuing support and friendship,” the organization said.

The Lacey Food Bank is located at 102 Station Drive in Forked River. Click here to read more about what items are needed and how to donate to the food bank.
