This year in lieu of the yearly coat drive organized by the Hazlet Business Owners Association, the HBOA is sponsoring a food drive for Project PAUL in Keansburg. Project PAUL’s entire inventory was washed out from Hurricane Sandy, leaving the pantry in need of rebuilding.  Ralph Saber, owner of Lighthouse Cigars in Airport Plaza, is the committee chair who is collecting items for Project Paul.

In addition to this food pantry, the collection of food will also benefit St. Benedicts and St. Johns. Items for this food drive can be dropped off at Lighthouse Cigars, Keyport IHOP, Perkins Family Restaurant & Red Oak Diner in Hazlet until February 28.

For further information on the food drive, please contact Ralph Saber of Lighthouse Cigars at 732-888-8118.
