TOMS RIVER, NJ – For families struggling with inflation and the astronomical increase in food costs, the Presbyterian Church at 1070 Hooper Avenue will be hosting a Thanksgiving dinner distribution.
The turkeys are provided by Fulfill, formerly the Monmouth/Ocean County Food Bank.
Turkeys will be distributed with fresh bread, potatoes, vegetables, and other Thanksgiving dinner fixings. Fulfill said there are no questions asked and no registration is needed.
Distribution starts at 9 am on Friday and is on a first-come-first-serve basis until supplies run out.
Fulfill sponsors a food distribution every Friday at the church, but this week’s service is geared toward providing Thanksgiving dinners to families being hit hard by food inflation under President Joe Biden.
According to a report, Thanksgiving in 2022 will be nearly twice as much as Thanksgiving in 2020.
