SOUTH BRUNSWICK: Feinstein Foundation food challenge begins today

   The South Brunswick Food Pantry has once again partnered with the Feinstein Foundation to take part in the foundation’s 16th Annual Challenge to Fight Hunger.
   All members of Middlesex County and the South Brunswick community are invited to be partners in this challenge.
   Each year from March 1 through April 30, the Feinstein Foundation challenges anti-hunger agencies throughout the nation to raise as many funds and collect as many food donations as possible.
   Each food item donated is valued at $1.00 per item.
   Alan Shawn Feinstein, founder of The Feinstein Foundation, will divide his donation of $1 million proportionately among all of the agencies participating in this challenge.
   The more donations that are made to the South Brunswick Food Pantry from March 1 through April 30, the more money the Food Pantry will receive from the Feinstein Foundation.
   For each of the past 16 years, the Feinstein Foundation has given away $1 million from March 1 through April 30.
   Its challenge to fight hunger has helped raise $1 billion for more than 2,000 anti-hunger agencies nationwide.

The South Brunswick Food Pantry and Social Services department is funded by donations from schools, clergy, small and large businesses, and residents.
