PROVISIONS FOR WORKING FAMILIES IN NEED

On July 27, 2013, Bentley Community Services, Inc., a nonprofit organization, distributed provisions of healthy groceries, farm fresh produce, toiletries, bakery goods, gift certificates and gift cards to numerous working families in need. The event was held at Griggstown Reformed Church where families from Somerset, Hunterdon, Middlesex and Mercer counties came for assistance.  By providing these crucial staples, working families in need that do not qualify for assistance save money which enables them to afford to pay their monthly expenses in this unstable economy.

Bentley Community Services specifically addresses the needs of struggling, working families that do not qualify for assistance but need help due to job lay-offs, under-employment, higher costs of living, medical expenses or unforeseen emergencies. They provide for working families in the local surrounding communities in Somerset, Hunterdon, Middlesex and Mercer counties. Bentley Community Services is a “healthy food bank and more” for working families, so often middle class families, that need help.
