Let's meet-up to help the Food Bank of NJ. For this event we will be working in the Food Bank warehouse; sorting and re-packing food items, sorting children's clothes for underprivileged kids or re-stocking school supplies in the Kids' Division. The exact activity will be determined the day of the event but know that no matter what we do it will be together as a group and new friends will be made.
