Hundreds of Lakewood families received free kosher groceries this evening at BlueClaws Stadium, as part of a large-scale food distribution organized to help local residents struggling with rising food costs.
The event – a joint collaboration between the Lakewood Resource and Referral Center (LRRC), Fulfill, and Lakewood Township – was limited to 1,000 preregistered families.
By early evening, a steady stream of vehicles lined up at the stadium’s Cedar Bridge Avenue entrance, where volunteers efficiently loaded boxes of groceries into each car.
Each household received two boxes of produce, including apples, onions, squash, and potatoes, along with three dozen eggs, two packages of Empire chicken, and a bag of assorted pantry staples.
Please mention entrance is from Ave of America.
Also mention good thing my car wasn’t in the picture shoot me dead if I was caught there
Anyone else did not get the chicken?
I didn’t get anything so be happy with what you got
the canned sweet potatoes did not have a hechsher
some have found the hechsher
It’s Star K
Just trying to understand what can 2 packages of chicken (basically 8 chicken quarters) could do for a large family. Obviously theses are families that get SNAP so these are families with several children. 8 quarters is one meal. Sincerely just trying to understand how this could help out a family..and perhaps more should be done..
You should be thankful you received something stop complaining .
Sponsor more, there will be more. We’re waiting for your 15 million dollar donation to cover the additional food.
It’s not the food amount per se; It’s the knowledge that somebody is looking out for you. That’s worth a whole lot more than 8 quarters of chicken.
I felt so good that someone cares, I didn’t even need to go pick up my can of sweet potatoes.
I tried signing up as soon as I saw the article and slots were all full. I’m sure many had the same experience. What does it help if only some get. Please make a second round for those who didn’t get tyvm
There was only so much available funds and food. Be tahnkful there was some available.
How is it possible that within 2 hours at night when I received the enmail registration was full. It was for 1000 people!! It sound a little suspicious to me.
Voluntary charity is good.
Government “charity” is theft.
Don’t tell the Democrats that. Nor those who support the Democrats.
