The Bradley Food Pantry is scheduled to move into its new home at 101 Third Ave., Neptune City next week.
The Bradley Food Pantry said it is scheduled to move from its current temporary location in Bradley Beach to 101 Third Ave., Neptune City Mon., Aug. 19.
The hours of operation at the new space will be Monday through Friday, 10 a.m. to noon as well as Thursday evenings from 6 to 7 p.m.
As with the previous location, the pantry will provide patrons with a grocery shopping experience, enabling them to choose the food and personal items they and their families need.
Linda Curtiss, executive director, of the pantry, expressed her enthusiasm for the temporary space where the pantry had been operating from since June in Bradley Beach, as well as appreciation for all of those who worked together to identify and move into the new Neptune City location.
“We were able to open a temporary space very quickly due to our incredible volunteers and local businesses – Mayor Larry Fox, Bradley Car Wash, Bradley Bowl, Your Flooring Center, Stewart’s Hardware, Johnson’s Restaurant Equipment and Beast – and we are overjoyed once again to have overflowing support to open this new location. The community effort has been tremendous! We are thankful for our volunteers and patrons for their understanding and belief in the pantry during this time of transition. We can’t wait to see you at our new space!”
This new space provides the opportunity for patrons to sit inside. The pantry asks all who come for assistance to arrive after 9 a.m. as lining up outside will not be permitted. Curtiss said it was thanks to the team at Rock Asset Management who facilitated the lease.
