Throughout the month of November Replenish hosted a series of events to raise awareness of food insecurity in the County and to collect non-perishable foods and supplies. Special thanks to all of our volunteers and partners including: Approved Fire Protection Co., The Community FoodBank of New Jersey, DuPont, Feeding Middlesex County, Magyar Bank, Old Bridge High School JR ROTC, Cub Scout Pack 67 of Piscataway, NJ, Rutgers Athletics including the Rutgers Football and the Rutgers Men's Golf, ShopRite, Woodbridge/Edison Scout Packs 53 and 26 and Troops 53 and 26.
The month-long campaign culminated with the annual turkey distribution on November 18 where 1,445 turkeys were distributed to 45 partner agencies at 16,193 pounds. Of the 1,445 turkeys, 1,280 were purchased by FMC at a value of about $40,156.47 weighing in at 14,393 pounds and 165 were donated at approximately 1,800 pounds.
