Music Video Fundraiser For Fulfill Food Bank To Drop May 6

LONG BRANCH—Recording artists and DJs The Beat Drops will be debuting their new one-hour video set that they filmed on the rooftop of Long Branch’s Wave Resort to raise money for Fulfill Food Bank on May 6 at 8 p.m.

According to the Beat Drops, a.k.a. Stephen D’Amico and Adam Saber, the reason for this fundraiser is that the number of families that are depending on food banks and pantries like Fulfill has almost doubled since the COVID-19 pandemic started.

Pre-pandemic, Fulfill was feeding 136,000 people, including 50,000 children. Today, Fulfill is feeding 215,000 people, including 70,000 children, and since the pandemic began, Fulfill has served 3.4 million meals.

“We wanted to do something unique to help those also impacted by COVID-19,” Saber said in a press release. “I was born and raised in New Jersey, so teaming up with Fulfill to help them with their efforts to put food on the tables of those from my home state is the least we can do to give back in this time of need.”

“I applaud the extraordinary efforts by the team at 'The Beat Drops' to help Fulfill feed our hungry neighbors,” said Lauren Holman, Fulfill Board Chair.

“We are so grateful to them for sharing their talents and expertise to put on an exciting music show to help us raise funds and awareness about food insecurity. It truly comes at a time of dire need at the Jersey Shore.”

Donations to Fulfill can be made now and throughout the May 6th video stream event at their website, and all proceeds will help Fulfill continue to serve those in need in Monmouth and Ocean Counties.
