Gift-wrapping at mall to benefit the FoodBank

Volunteers will be wrapping gifts this month at the Monmouth Mall in Eatontown from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. to benefit the FoodBank of Monmouth and Ocean Counties.

Hundreds of volunteers from corporate groups, senior communities and local schools in the area have volunteered their time in past years to help the FoodBank raise funds at the gift-wrapping booth at the mall. In 2006, close to $15,000 was raised from this fundraiser.

Individuals and groups interested in wrapping or volunteering can call Lori at the FoodBank at (732) 918-2600 or visit www.foodbankmoc.org. Volunteers are asked to wrap for a minimum of two hours.
