“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."
