Bradley Food Pantry Announces the 4th Annual “Take a Bite Out of Hunger” 

Bradley Food Pantry

The Bradley Food Pantry has announced its plans for the 4th annual “Take a Bite Out of Hunger” event – this year scheduled for two days rather than just one: October 9 and 10. Restaurants in Bradley Beach, Avon-by-the-Sea, Ocean Grove, Neptune City, Belmar, Spring Lake, Sea Girt, Lake Como, Wall and Asbury Park have pledged a percentage of their revenues on the day as a contribution to the Pantry. Over 40 restaurants and businesses are participating.

“Proceeds from this incredible annual event will be a huge lift to our upcoming Thanksgiving drive—we expect to feed seven hundred families this year,” said Linda Curtiss, Executive Director of the Bradley Food Pantry. “We're immensely grateful to the restaurants and businesses for their generosity and support, which will help us address food insecurity in our community.”

The “Take a Bite” Chairperson, Nancy Mulligan, said, “The 4th annual Take a Bite Out of Hunger campaign is shaping up to be our most successful ever!” She went on to say, “The amazing event committee has done an unbelievable job to attract over 40 restaurants and businesses from Asbury Park to Spring Lake. We encourage our friends, neighbors and all our Pantry volunteers and supporters to Get Out, Eat Out or Take Out to support this worthy cause."

I’ve had my dream job of waking up with all the great listeners and members of Brookdale Public Radio since January 3, 2005. Prior to this job, I began my career in radio at NJ 101.5 FM as a producer. From there, I took time off from radio to do other things. (including becoming a mom!)
