For the third year in a row, you can drop off your non-perishable food items at World Volkswagen in Neptune , New Jersey. Located at 4075 Route 33, just west of the Garden State Parkway, the dealer recognizes the needs of others in these tough times. Gino Dellomo, General Sales Manager of the dealership and a long-time resident in the area says, "At no time is it more important than now to help those less fortunate than ourselves. World Volkswagen is committed to this community and its people."
The FoodBank began in 1984 when three people saw hunger at the Jersey shore and decided to make a difference. They purchased a small, dilapidated warehouse in Spring Lake. Carpenters, masons and other members of the community donated work, office furniture and supplies. Food streamed in from hundreds of donors. After one year, the FoodBank was serving 25 charities with 100,000 pounds of food.
Ten years later, nearly two million pounds of food was being distributed annually from the same small warehouse. Bursting at the seams, the FoodBank undertook a capital campaign in 1998 to construct a new facility in Neptune. Three years later, the current 40,000 sq. ft facility became a reality.
Today, the FoodBank serves over 270 pantries, soup kitchens and other feeding programs with over 5 million pounds of food annually.
