While the main efforts of DRBC staff are focused on managing and protecting the shared interstate waters of the Delaware River Basin, they also care about helping out in our local communities.
Last month, eleven DRBC staff volunteered at the Mercer Street Friends Food Bank (MSF) in Ewing Township, N.J.
MSF is the leader of the community's response to hunger, offering prevention programs and annually distributing 5.5 million pounds of privately - and government - donated food to a network of more than 100 shelters, soup kitchens and food pantries in Mercer County, N.J. In addition to running the food bank, Mercer Street Friends also offers a free preschool and many programs for youth, adults and parents. Learn more about the great work they do at the above link.
This year, staff helped make more than 700 food bags, which equaled over 1,400 meals! This was our 8th year volunteering at the Food Bank, and we always appreciate the experience.
Thank you to the MSF staff for having us and for all you do in the local community!
During the holiday season and all throughout the year, DRBC staff are proud to do their part to help those in need. A small agency can have a big impact when they work together to do good for others.
