The Lacey Food Bank Program

"It is one of the most beautiful compensations of life,
that no man can sincerely try to help another,
without helping himself "  
 -  Ralph Waldo Emerson
 
 
 
OUR THANKS TO YOU . . .

As we end another year of food bank service, the list of those who helped us in 2009 is a testament to an all encompassing community of caring and support. In 2009 we saw our client lists increase yet again  as  we reached an all time high by Christmas of  206 families. Without you we would be unable to continue helping them. And thanks to you, the food bank kids each received gifts of warm clothing and toys.
 
Take a minute to visit the "Newletter 2009 " page and meet those who joined in this wonderful community effort. From the scouts and the students, to the organizations, churches and businesses and to all the caring individuals in Lacey - you were there for us. Keep it happening in 2010. We need you.

On another page "Esteemed Sponsors" you'll meet individuals who commit to monthly donations and businesses who back us up by supporting at least one food bank family at the cost of $240. annually.

Whatever it is you give or whatever you do, you breathe life into this organization and for this, the volunteers of the Lacey Food Bank thank you.

Sincerely,
Guy Burnett, Chairman
 
 
 
Please Note: Check to  see if your employer, whether you are working or retired, matches your charitable contributions . Last year , three esteemed sponsors were matched by their employers thereby doubling their gift to us.

FOOD & FOOD DRIVES

The Women Club of Lacey holds a collection monthly, of tuna fish for us. February’s meeting gathered 46 cans of tuna, for a total of 138 cans this year.

The ongoing collections by our friends from the Forked River Presbyterian Church and the Village Lutheran Church enrich our shelves

Thanks to Craig at Manhattan Bagel who gives us huge bags of bagels for monthly distribution, a treat for all.

Caldwell Bankers collect food for us at their headquarters on an ongoing basis. They are located out by the GSP, on the south side of Lacey Rd

Thanks to our favorite neighborhood , the Forked River Breakfast Group, who collect food for us at all their social occasions. We can only wish that this "germ of a good idea" would spread through out the land of Lacey.

Janice Celmer collects coupons from her neighbors, then uses them to buy food for us, a trunkload at a time.

GIFTS OF A " DIFFERENT COLOR "

 Rich & Margaret Hauswirth , owners of Hauswirth Insurance Agency, are official members of the FOFB (Friends of the Food Bank) along with being esteemed sponsors for the last six years. When the food bank needs a boost, they always come through - with one stipulation, that we do not mention their name. So we don't BUT

Last year, along with two other charities, we received over $1,000 from their referral program. Do yourself (and us) a favor and call them for an estimate on your insurance needs. You'll be pleasantly surprised by the rates and the small town personal attention you'll receive. To receive their witty informative newsletter give them a call at 693-3123 and tell them you were referred by the Lacey Food Bank. Then tell your family and friends to do the same

The Lacey Library holds book drives sets holds a summer reading program table with free books for the food bank kids.

Amergen donates $3,000 to pay for insuring and registering the Food Bank Van. And bless good ole Jack Ryan from the Recreation Department who keeps it together for us !

We have a good friend at the Forked River Gazette. Thanks to Jennifer, the word has been spread about our Memorial & Celebrations page.. Thanks Jennifer for that and for publishing our schedule each month.

We are so grateful for all the helping hands from Lacey Township - the office support from township administrator Veronica Laureigh & her staff - Fran & Pat - Casey Parker & his monthly food moving crew sent to us (sheer salvation) - Bud, Jack & Fred, the great guys in John Kilmurrys recreation department who provide transportation and delivery to the housebound.

And finally, the support we receive from the township committee.......We couldn't do it without them
