Helping out an important local cause

This marks the fourth year that Spencer's and Spirit Halloween has helped the Food Bank's hunger relief efforts. The company has now donated over $400,000 to help the fight against hunger in New Jersey.

According to Spencer's and Spirit Halloween officials, .$50,000 of this year's donation is specifically directed to "help fill the gap left by recent federal cuts to the Local Food Purchase Assistance program. This donation will support purchasing fresh produce and food distribution efforts."

Elizabeth McCarthy, President & CEO of the Community FoodBank of New Jersey, had this to say: “Their contributions have made a significant impact on the lives of families, particularly in South Jersey, where more than 70,000 people are food insecure, and we are deeply grateful for their partnership.”
