Lunch Break

I love that Jon Stewart is a Jersey Shore fixture. It makes me feel warm and fuzzy inside. He is always aligning himself with ways to help others and this is no exception. Jon Stewart will guest host a gala for a Lunch Break, at the Count Basie Center for the Arts on Oct. 15th to help feed Monmouth County and beyond.

We greatly appreciate what Lunch Break does for our Jersey Shore community. Each day they strive to break the cycle of poverty by providing life's basic necessities for community members in need. The nonprofit freely provides food, clothing, and fellowship. Now, Lunch Break is ready to expand its help with the COVID-19 Emergency Fund.

During my last Pay It Forward campaign over a year ago, Lunch Break Director of Development Kate McMahon toured me through the facility and spoke about their plans of expansion. The only thing they needed was more funding. Luckily, they got their wish.

Red Bank Cocktail Week is under way and last night I went to check out one of the events - The Laird's Applejack Bartender Mix-Off at Taste!

There's an exciting weeklong event coming to Red Bank next week, and it sounds like a lot of fun!

Lunch Break in Red Bank has been around for over 30 years, helping those in need in our area. They provide meals, clothing, special services and assistance.
