Volunteers needed for Project EAT effort

Volunteers in Public Service, Monmouth County Division of Social Services, Freehold, is seeking Scouts, schools and businesses for its Project EAT (Everyone Ate Today) effort. Project Eat is a food collection program where groups collect food three or more times annually to help local food pantries.

Volunteers in Public Service will provide presentations to introduce the project; give individuals consultation to help groups get started; and provide linkage to the local food pantry, a periodic newsletter, a "how to" guide for schools, a curriculum dealing with the problem of hunger for uses in classes K-12, a video that shows how Project EAT works, and award certificates to display in classrooms and other sites.

For more information, call Mary Ellen Hemenway at (732) 845-2073.
