The funds will be used to support the mission of the FoodBank to supply food to those in need in Monmouth and Ocean counties.
Check-Out Hunger is in its 12th year and encompasses six states on the East Coast. Launched in 1991 by the Community Food Bank of New Jersey and New Jersey food retailers, the program was designed to raise awareness about hunger and the role of food banking — cooperatively, without competition or advantage. In 1991, more than $200,000 was raised. Last year, Check-Out Hunger raised more than $862,000 in New Jersey.
