On December 23 2025 at 10am 3 members and myself helped the State Police conduct a food drive. We held this drive at the St. Josephs pantry in Hammonton. Around 30 State Police officers helped out. We separated the items on the pallets and stocked them in the pantry. It took about 4 hrs to complete.
