Nearly 400 pounds of food donated to the Community FoodBank of NJ
Continuing its long-tradition of supporting local and national charitable organizations for the last 15 years, the Pipes of Christmas today announced it collected nearly 400 pounds of non-perishable food items on behalf of the Community FoodBank of New Jersey.
According to Clan Currie Society president Robert Currie, concert-goers were extremely generous. “I am absolutely thrilled by the level of support we received from our audience members this year and thrilled to learn upon delivering an SUV filled to the brim with donated items, that we in fact broke last year’s record by 100 pounds. What a wonderful Christmas gift for families in need!”
The FoodBank distributes food to more than 1,000 partner agencies across the state, including soup kitchens, food pantries, emergency shelters, and child and senior feeding programs.
Last year, the Clan Currie Society collected just under 300 pounds of food items that helped touch the life of literally hundreds of thousands of people through the FoodBank’s feeding programs and partner charities.
