Still Time to Donate to Aaron's Jump for South Brunswick Food Pantry

Kendall Park resident Aaron Rosloff is celebrating his 91st birthday skydiving to raise money for the township food pantry.

Before Kendall Park's from 13,000-feet on July 1 to raise money for the South Brunswick Food Pantry, township residents still have time to donate to the cause.

Rosloff celebrated his 90th birthday last year jumping from 8,000-feet at the Williamstown Airport. Leading up to his birthday, he decided to turn the event into a fundraiser to help the less fortunate, by using his jump to benefit the Food Pantry. He said the fundraiser brought in about $3,000.

The pantry is currently seeing up to approximately 60 families per month, with an average of two to six new families coming in for aid each month. For Rosloff, helping the less fortunate was a natural way to spend his birthday.

"My family has always been oriented towards helping others," he said. "I've been on the boards for Charleston Place and Oak Woods for over 20 years, and I helped to develop and build Oak Woods. The idea of helping people to make their lives a little better is something my family and I were always encouraged to do. I've always been a donor to the pantry, but this created an opportunity to really help in an area that I know the township really needs."

“Aaron's Jump” will be held on July 1 at the Williamstown Airport.
