Donations Accepted for Union Beach Hurricane Sandy Victims

Family Readiness Group volunteers are collecting goods to be distributed.

Our local National Guard soldiers have been stationed down in Union Beach and other surrounding communities for the past week. After hearing the many stories, some of our Family Readiness Group community volunteers have decided to organize a community wide collection of goods that can be distributed. We are not collecting monetary donations. We will be collecting through Saturday, November 17.

We will collect, organize and transport down to the towns.
