Community Food Bank of New Jersey Annual Turkey Drive

Ridge High School's community service club, Key Club, is working in conjunction with The Community FoodBank of New Jersey for their annual Turkey Drive which helps to provide a crucial holiday meal for those who would go without at Thanksgiving. We are once again collecting at nearly 40 locations, including Ridge High School in Basking Ridge on November 19th from 9am-2pm.  We are asking for frozen turkeys and any canned goods to help round out holiday meals for our clients. Last year we collected more than 4,000 turkeys and 26,000 pounds of food during our Turkey Drive.

You can also donate online to help provide a holiday meal for a family in need at www.njfoodbank.org.

 The Community FoodBank of New Jersey, a member of Feeding America, distributed 40 million pounds of food in the last year to people in need in 18 of New Jersey’s 21 counties.  Its staff and volunteers fight hunger and poverty not only through the distribution of food and grocery products, but by education and training, and by creating new programs to meet the needs of low-income people. The Community FoodBank of New Jersey recently earned Charity Navigator’s highest honor for the third consecutive year, a four-star rating.

We thank you in advance for your help!
