November Food Drive under way During the month of November, Atlantic Stewardship Bank will be conducting a Food Drive throughout all of its branches. This is no ordinary Thanksgiving food collection; it is a drive with a mission to replenish the food pantry reserves that are depleted by the Thanksgiving holiday. The bank’s BEACH (Bank Employees Assisting Charities) Club coordinates this annual effort. All month long, both customers and bank associates are asked to fill the baskets located in each bank branch with non-perishable food items. High-protein foods such as canned tuna, beef stew, ravioli, baked beans, and peanut butter are always in short supply at the food pantries, as are coffee, tea, soups, and sugar. The bank will be collecting the food items through Nov. 23. The food will be distributed to local food pantries the following week. The beneficiaries of this year’s drive include the Social Service Organization of Ridgewood, CUMAC, Star of Hope Ministries, Oasis: A Haven for Women and Children, the Pequannock Township Food Pantry, the Wayne Interfaith Network, Harvest Outreach Ministries, Westwood Cares, and New Hope Ministries.
