The Asbury Park City Council, through the City’s Community Development Block Grant, will make funds available to help Asbury Park residents counter food insecurity due to the Covid-19 pandemic.
Funding, provided through the Federal Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act will be used to support Interfaith Neighbors Senior Meals on Wheels Program that delivers nutritious meals to homebound seniors and Fulfill FoodBank for the purchase and distribution of emergency food assistance in response to residents affected by the Covid-19 pandemic.
“The Covid-19 pandemic has been difficult for our community,” said Deputy Mayor Amy Quinn, “I am incredibly thankful to the Department of Community Development for their hard work and resourcefulness in ensuring that our community gets the help they need.”
