Still looking for a way to get on Santa’s good list?
For the third year in a row, we’re hosting a collection for the Community FoodBank of New Jersey. This non-profit feeds more than one million people per year, and provides food assistance to over 250 charities throughout Cape May, Cumberland and Atlantic Counties.
“Any legitimate place providing food to the underprivileged in these areas is likely getting the bulk of their donations through us,” says Executive Director Evelyn Benton. “We’re thrilled when organizations like the brewery think outside of themselves to contribute.”
From now through December 14, non-perishable food items will be accepted at the tasting room. Canned fish and meat, canned or boxed meals, shelf-stable milk, peanut butter, and canned fruits and vegetables are especially welcome. No glass, cellophane, soda, bottled water or baby food, please.
For every four items you donate, you’ll receive one dollar off of any 64-ounce growler fill or any six-pack to go. Because of your generosity, we contributed 146 pounds of food to the cause last year, and we’d really love to top this number in 2015.
“We’re in a position of high visibility,” says our prez, Ryan Krill. “It’s not all about great beer; it’s about taking our momentum and putting it to use for the public good.”
Don’t forget – you also have the option of donating a dollar to play the Hook and Ring Toss game set up in our tasting room. All proceeds will be gifted to the FoodBank.
Remember: beer tastes better after a good deed.
Each year, our food drive collects hundreds of pounds of food, non-perishable, and shelf-stable items for our neighbors in need throughout Cape May County.
While you’re probably still raiding your kids’ Halloween candy, before you know it, the holidays will be upon us. And at CMBC, we like to plan ahead — particularly when we’re trying to help our neighbors.
