WE LOVE WHEN THE YOUTH ARE INVOLVED IN COMMUNITY CARE. THIS IS WHAT HAPPENS WHEN TEAMWORK MEETS HEART.

STUDENTS SHOWING UP AND REMINDING US WHAT REAL COMMUNITY LOOKS LIKE. THIS IS LEADERSHIP, COMPASSION, AND CARE IN ACTION. WE’RE SO PROUD OF THE NEXT GENERATION LEADING BY EXAMPLE🫧

From one end zone to the other, the whole football field turned yellow.

It was covered in thousands of yellow bags of groceries, all collected by high school students for families who need help.

This was the second annual 100-Yard Food Drive Challenge, held at Howell High School in New Jersey and organized by the nonprofit Dermer Dreams. Hundreds of students took part.

By the end, they had collected more than a quarter of a million pounds of food. It was the biggest food drive in the group's history.

Then the Howell High football team and other volunteers loaded all those bags onto trucks. The food is going to 30 food banks across the area.

"These students did more than collect food," said co-founder Dan Dermer. "They united communities and demonstrated the power of working together."

"Every bag represents a young person who chose to make a difference in someone's life," added Alyse Dermer.

That's a touchdown for kindness. 🏈

ON TUESDAY, OCTOBER 27, JAMIE & MANNY ATTENDED THE OCEAN COUNTY LIBRARY COMMISSION MEETING AT THE DOWNTOWN TOMS RIVER LIBRARY.

THE MEETING WAS VERY SHORT. WE WENT WITH A FEW QUESTIONS, BUT DIDN'T GET A CHANCE TO ASK ANY OF THEM.

WE WANTED TO INQUIRE ABOUT THE "INTERGENERATIONAL ROOM" THAT WAS SUPPOSED TO REPLACE THE JBJ Soul Kitchen Toms River POP-UP RESTAURANT EARLIER THIS YEAR. THE STATUS, TIMELINE, OR JUST THE PLAN FOR THE SPACE.

WE WERE SEEKING ANY INFO ABOUT THE BENCHES THAT WERE QUIETLY REMOVED FROM THE DOWNTOWN LOCATION.

WHEN WE WERE PROMPTED TO GIVE A "COMMENT FROM THE PUBLIC" WE DECLINED BECAUSE WE THOUGHT WE WERE BEING ASKED TO COMMENT ON A PARTICULAR TOPIC.

NOT REALIZING IT WOULD BE THE ONLY TIME WE’D BE ASKED, WE REPLIED NO, AND THE MEETING WAS IMMEDIATELY ADJOURNED.

WE DID TRY SPEAKING WITH SEVERAL COMMISSION MEMBERS AFTER THE MEETING BUT DIDNT GET ANY ANSWERS. WE LEARNED SEVERAL THINGS THAT AFTERNOON, BUT MOST IMPORTANTLY IT WAS TO SPEAK UP WHEN WE'RE GIVEN THE OPPORTUNITY.

GOOD MORNING FRIENDS!

TODAY IS GOING TO BE A FANTASTIC DAY!

ALSO, DID YALL KNOW THAT HOT WATER WILL ACTUALLY SET IN OIL BASED STAINS? COOKING GREASE, OIL BASED PAINT, MAKE-UP...

WELL, WE DIDNT KNOW, BUT WE SURE DID LEARN LOL.

BEST WAY TO REMOVE THESE TYPES OF STAINS IS TO USE A LITTLE BIT OF DISHSOAP ON THE AREA, LET SIT FOR FIVE MINUTES, RUB, NOT SCRUB TO LATHER IT UP, AND RINSE WITH COLD WATER.

YOU CAN REPEAT THE PROCESS IF NEEDED BEFORE YOU GIVE IT A WASH.

ALSO, DOES ANYONE KNOW HOW TO GET RID OF GLITTER?

ASKING FOR A FRIEND.....
