Asbury Park Dinner Table: Supporting Local Restaurants And Feeding Families
The spread of Covid-19 has threatened the local restaurant industry and the food security of the community. Asbury Park Dinner Table, is a new non-profit organization here to support both the hyper-local food service community while feeding Asbury Park families.
With many local families already dealing with food insecurity and the additional stress of having to provide extra meals for kids home from school, and those who have lost their jobs, the need for meals is critical.
The initiative is simple: Donate online to AP Dinner Table who will use the money to pay local restaurants to make specially packaged dinner meals and deliver them to designated locations for food insecure families to grab and go. APDT will be serving daily dinner meals from 6pm to 7:30pm although operating hours may change.
The distribution points are at: Second Baptist Church, at 124 Atkins Avenue, St. Stephen’s AME Zion Church, 1001 Springwood Avenue, and United Fellowship Baptist Church at 603 3rd Avenue.
A $30 donation will help restaurants create three dinner meals for people in need according to APDT co-founder Julie Andreola. “Locals helping feed locals- it’s what Asbury Park is all about.”
