VETERANS AWARD DINNER
For those of you who missed it. Forty-Six people from the Branchburg Rotary, OJC, HFF, VNNJ, WHVNJ, Dawn Patrol, and our A-Team, joined in a fun and informative dinner. While we enjoyed giving out over $100,000 to the groups, they enjoyed sharing their stories and their successes with each other. They are truly the heroes, working with those in need, and in trouble every day and helping and healing our veterans. See the whole photo album on the webpage.

THIS WEEK THANKSGIVING BASKET PACKING - DON'T BE LATE AND BRING YOUR A GAME. READ THIS
Bag Packing will commence at 6:45 am when 4 club members will unpack the groceries and place them in the larger dining room. the actual packing will be done by 4 different teams starting at 7:20 am so everyone needs to arrive no later than that. Hopefully, we will be finished by 8:20 and use the remaining 10 minutes to pack up the extras and place the bags in Maria's car. If you won't be at the meeting on Wednesday, please text Diane. Each club member will be responsible for packing either 3 or 4 bags so it's important that we know how many people will be there. Thanks - Diane
HUNGER RELIEF
While the weekly numbers are always impressive -this week 147 families and 494 clients.
Try to wrap your head around this. Since the start of the program at the beginning of the pandemic - at the Church only - not counting Father Ron, The Learning Gate and others that received food:
12,000 families
31,000 people
served thus far.
With our loss of Jimmy- we are now looking for contacts at restaurants that may have a surplus on Saturday nights for pick up Sunday Morning to be brought to the church for packing and distribution. Contact Joe or Billy if you know someone.
