OCEAN COUNTY – No one has to go hungry this Thanksgiving, as the Fulfill foodbank is giving away free turkey meals to those in need across the county.
Director of the Ocean County Board of Commissioners Joseph H. Vicari recently joined volunteers from the Fulfill foodbank of Ocean and Monmouth County to distribute more than 1,000 turkey meals to needy residents.
The giveaway, at The JBJ Soul Kitchen in Toms River, provided meals to both senior citizens and younger families.
