Over a dozen local non-profit organizations on Thursday evening during the Township Committee meeting received a check from the Community Development Block Grants (CDBG).
There are strict guidelines for where the CDBG funds can be distributed, and at least 15% of the earmarked funds are to be used for public sector organizations.
Non-profit organizations such as Misameach and soup kitchens were among recipients.

This is great giving for a great cause.
In light of the busing “crisis”, here is the math.
$150,000.00 X 85% to the “non public” sector=$127,500.00
@$466.00 per student for busing for 1 year that can cover 273 students.
Closing the gap!
