Holmdel Community Church Raises $6,000 for Local Emergency Fund

Over 400 turkey dinners served to help local Emergency Assistance Fund.

It was March 12, but inside the Holmdel Community Church kitchen it smelled like Thanksgiving. 

More than 300 hot, homemade meals and 126 take-out dinners were purchased by diners, and served by a fast-moving army of volunteers in Fellowship Hall on Main Street. In just four hours, the Holmdel Church raised $6000.

The money will go to the Emergency Assistance Fund (EAF) of the Community Outreach Group of Middletown, Inc. The EAF helps families facing unexpected heating, medical or housing expenses.
