On March 27th from 11 am-2 pm, the Bradley Beach Fire Department, Bradley Beach First Aid Department and some amazing resident volunteers will drive through the streets of Bradley Beach, sirens echoing around the neighborhood to pick up food donations for the Bradley Food Pantry. The Bradley Beach Business Community Alliance is happy to host this 2nd Annual event.
Simply place the food items you wish to donate on your front porch and a volunteer will pick them up. All the food collected moves from porch to pantry in just a few hours’ time. From there, it goes quickly into the hands of local families struggling to get enough food to eat.
Please consider leaving a donation so the Bradley Food Pantry can stop hunger and feed hope to all who rely on the pantry at all times and especially at this time of crisis. While these are tough times for everyone, even donating one item, will make a difference. With your generous donations, the Bradley Food Pantry will be able to feed the hungry and bring some hope to all who rely on the pantry.
“There are a lot of people in our area that are still vulnerable, looking for work, trying to figure out how to make ends meet. We’re humbled to be able to be of service to the Bradley Food Pantry to provide food to those families,” said Amy Hall, Staff Director of the Bradley Beach Community Alliance.
