SCLSNJ Donates Non-Perishable Items to Community
For the twelfth consecutive year, the Somerset County Library System of New Jersey (SCLSNJ) has collected and donated school supplies and non-perishable items for Somerset County community members in need.
The 11-branch system – through a program organized by Charlene Perkins and Jennifer McClear, co-chairs of SCLSNJ’s feeding minds and bodies donation drive committee – collected over 434 pounds of donation items for The Food Bank Network of Somerset County, located on Easy Street.
“Food bank volunteers were thrilled when the SCLSNJ van pulled into the Food Bank garage to unload the 26 boxes of collected school supplies and non-perishable food,” said Perkins. “It’s a wonderful feeling to know that SCLSNJ employees are so generous in donating to this annual drive.”
The mission of The Food Bank Network of Somerset County is “to distribute food and to provide other basic human needs to those less fortunate in our community in a manner which recognizes and advances self worth and human dignity.” To learn more about The Food Bank Network of Somerset County, visit somersetfoodbank.org or call 732-560-1813.
