State Senator Jean Stanfield (NJ-8) and Assemblyman Brandon Umba (NJ-8) presented a proclamation to an overflowing crowd of Deborah Heart and Lung Center employees in recognition of their Thanksgiving food drive. Hospital employees collected two-and-a-half tons of food which was donated to the Christian Caring Center for local distribution. Said Deborah President and CEO Joseph Chirichella, “We try to use our campus as a hub and provide support for this medically underserved community.” Added Sen. Stanfield, “I commend your community service and your heartfelt giving of yourselves.” And noted Asm. Umba, “Food insecurity is an issue that is near and dear to our legislative heart, and always receives bipartisan support. Thanks for your efforts on this issue.”
