Take a look at what three south Jersey REALTORS are doing to fight hunger in Cape May County. Please read and contribute if you can!
March 3rd, 2010
As realtors, we get inside a lot of homes during the course of a year. Sometimes, what we see is appalling. Senior citizens subsisting on Saltine crackers the last few days of the month and financially-strapped families bulking up on white bread and big generic bags of potato chips and cookies, so called "feel good" nutrition-deficient foods.
Three Cape May County, NJ realtors decided to do something about it and formed a non-profit corporation called "The Free Meal Center". The goal is to serve lunch Monday through Saturday, plus breakfast on Saturdays. The double meal on Saturdays is targeted at kids, who often don't have a decent meal after school lunch on Friday until returning to school for free breakfast on Monday.
TFMC takes possession of a 4,000 square foot former restaurant on March 15th, just 12 short days away. We're still $4,000 short. We hope to be open to the public by Memorial Day.
Check out our website at http://www.FreeMealCenter.com . Perhaps you can see it in your heart to make a small donation.
Thank you for caring.

It sounds like a wonderful project that can help a lot of people Laura. Good idea to spread the word.
Great reblog, Laura. More communities should be doing the same....
