DEIA Year-Long Food Drive: A Heartfelt Success

This year, we embarked on a mission to make a difference in our community through the DEIA Year-Long Food Drive. With an ambitious goal of collecting 250 pounds of food, we are thrilled to announce that the total collected for the year was incredible 629.7 pounds!
 
Here’s how the donations were distributed:
 

Rutgers Pantry: 94 lbs

Food Bank Network of Somerset County: 187 lbs

A huge thank you to everyone who contributed! Your generosity has made a tremendous difference in the lives of so many. Together, we’ve shown the power of community and compassion.
