OCEAN COUNTY - Mayors and Ocean County officials joined in delivering meals on wheels to the elderly in an effort to raise awareness about the importance of the Ocean County Meals On Wheels Program and the value of the volunteers that deliver the more than 1,000 meals daily. Since 1973, the Ocean County Board of Freeholders has supported Community Services, Inc., a local non-profit organization whose mission is to provide nutrition and support services to the elderly to assist them in living as independently as possible in their own homes. For the second year, the agency has sponsored the Mayor For Meals Day program. This year, it was joined by Investors Savings Bank as a sponsor.
Pictured by the meal delivery vans purchased by Ocean County and by Investors Savings Bank Foundation during the September 27 event are South Toms River Mayor Michael P. Keene, Lavallette Mayor Walter LaCicero, Pine Beach Mayor Russell K. Corby, Berkeley Township Mayor Jason J. Varano, Manchester Township Mayor Michael Fressola, Brick Township Mayor Daniel J. Kelly, Point Pleasant Mayor Martin C. Konkus, Director of the Ocean County Office of Senior Services Jane Maloney, Point Pleasant Beach Mayor Thomas Vogel, Ocean Gate Mayor Paul J. Kennedy, Plumsted Township Mayor, Assemblyman Ronald S. Dancer and Ocean County Freeholder Joseph H. Vicari, chairman of Senior Services.
Other officials scheduled to participate were Beach Haven Mayor Thomas J. Stewart, Harvey Cedars Mayor Jonathan S. Oldham, Long Beach Township Mayor DiAnne C. Gove, Ocean Township Mayor Daniel M. VanPelt, Ship Bottom Mayor William Huelsenbeck and Councilman Richard Sinopoli, Stafford Township Mayor Carl W. Block and Councilwoman Jeanne DiPaola.
