New Jersey Team Members Distribute Food as Part of Volunteer Day
Neptune, NJ – Bank of America recently presented Fulfill, the Food Bank of Monmouth and Ocean Counties, with a generous donation of $50,000 as part of Bank of America’s support of nonprofit organizations that provide access to healthcare, food access and nutrition, family stabilization and other poverty-related issues.
The significant gift will support food distribution to Fulfill’s over 300 pantry partners, as well as help the food bank continue to comprehensively fight hunger in the Jersey Shore region. Triada Stampas, President & CEO of Fulfill, accepted the check from Bank of America.
“Combatting food insecurity and supporting hunger-relief efforts is essential to helping our communities thrive,” said Alberto Garofalo, president, Bank of America New Jersey. “Fulfill plays a critical role in ensuring families across Monmouth and Ocean Counties have access to nutritious food and the resources they need to build a stronger future. Addressing hunger strengthens our communities, supports economic vitality and creates pathways for long-term success.”
In addition to the financial contribution, Bank of America New Jersey employees volunteered their time to assist with food distribution at one of Fulfill’s “Pop the Trunk” drive-through events, loading cars with fresh food, shelf-stable items and other essentials. The volunteer efforts and donation were part of Bank of America’s broader commitment to community engagement.
“This past year, we saw that the number of Monmouth and Ocean County residents facing hunger continued to climb, with more than 100,000 monthly visitors at local food pantries,” said Stampas. “The need is urgent, and the partnership between Bank of America and Fulfill reflects a shared commitment to fighting food insecurity and building stronger communities. This generous donation, coupled with Bank of America’s volunteer efforts, are making a difference in our region.”
