Food Bank of South Jersey
Since our inventory has been getting low, this month we elected to order more food from the Food Bank of South Jersey and have it delivered to King’s Things. They require you to order 750 pounds of food items for them to offer free delivery. The food order was dropped off at 7 am on Oct. 19th. I want to give a shout-out to the volunteers who came out to help sort, move, and stock shelves – Randy, Joe M., Orlando, Meredith, and Mary Beth. T
