MCFOODS sponsoring holiday food drive to spread cheer and restock food banks throughout Middlesex County

Donate safely and enjoy a festive stroll or celebrate virtually

WHAT:            As food insecurity continues to hit New Jersey hard due to the COVID-19 pandemic, supplies are running low at food banks across the state. Middlesex County is offering residents an opportunity to spread – and receive – some holiday cheer by helping to replenish supplies at County food banks. East Jersey Old Town Village is hosting a holiday-themed food drive benefitting The Middlesex County Food Organization and Outreach Distribution Services (MCFOODS) on Saturday, December 5 and Sunday, December 6, from 10 am to 4 pm each day.

As a token of appreciation, visitors will receive a festive surprise gift in exchange for canned goods, dry goods, and monetary donations to help restock food banks throughout the County. All donations can be made via contactless drive-thru.

The public is also invited to celebrate virtually by visiting the Middlesex County website, where they can view the “Mid-Century New Jersey: The Garden State in the 1950s” exhibition; explore recipes, crafts, and music.
