Casino Night raises funds for hunger relief

A fun night of rolling the dice and spinning the roulette wheel at a Casino Night fundraiser hosted recently by Toms River dentist Dr. Ronen Rotem netted $3,290 for Ocean County Hunger Relief (OCHR), a nonprofit organization in Toms River that feeds area families.

OCHR maintains 31 food pantries throughout Ocean County and has more than 300 volunteers who help provide four-day emergency packages of nutritional food. OCHR feeds over 3,000 people each month, 50 percent of them children, and rely on people like Rotem and community organizations to help.

For more information, call Carol Latif, executive director of OCHR, (732) 505- 4357.
