PRINCETON, NJ (April 12, 2013)— Restore Our Shore is overjoyed to carry out their mission, and announce that the Leadership Team has recently voted to make the following distributions to the respective local, qualified, vetted organizations:

$5,000 has been granted to the Tom’s River SEPTA People’s Food Pantry to replace their industrial refrigerator. Tom’s River People’s Pantry has been serving 500-600 families every week since Hurricane Sandy with 4,000 registered families. They have done a superb job of organizing volunteers and is the only local nondenominational community food and supply bank that was established in the aftermath of Hurricane Sandy.

$526 granted to the Conserve Wildlife Foundation for the purpose of purchasing 200 fence posts ($2.63 each) to reinstall existing fencing along Great Bay Boulevard in Little Egg Harbor, Ocean County, to help keep northern diamondback terrapins from entering the roadway. Conserve Wildlife Foundation of New Jersey (CWF) is a statewide non-profit organization dedicated to protecting the rare and imperiled species of wildlife that live and breed in, and migrate through, New Jersey.

$3,500 to the Occupy Sandy Community Garden in Keansburg, NJ. The garden will be planted next to the St. Marks Church in Keansburg. Occupy Sandy is a group of generous individuals from all over New Jersey. The sustainable garden will be strategically farmed to produce high-yield fresh fruits and vegetables such as tomatoes, lettuce, cabbage, kale, etc. The fresh fruits and vegetables will be donated to various local Jersey Shore shelters and soup kitchens.

Restore Our Shore is a 100% volunteer- run organization whose aim is quite simple: to Restore, Rebuild, and Recover the New Jersey Shore after massive Superstorm Sandy hit on October 29^th.  By acting as the link between generous donors and local charities, and spreading the word socially about their objective, Restore Our Shore is making impressive headway in helping to get the Jersey Shore back on its feet.   Since Hurricane Sandy Restore Our Shore has raised $67K+ through grass-roots marketing and made bi-monthly distributions to worthy, local charities.
