Because every little bit helps...
We are thrilled to announce the first "Savoring the Shore" grant is awarded to USA Hometown Heroes for aid with housing assistance, rental assistance, housing reconstruction and repairs, and furniture and appliances for individuals still living with the devastation wrought by Sandy.
Based in Toms River, NJ, one of the areas hardest hit by Sandy, USA Hometown Heroes is a NJ non-profit organization that was founded in 2008 to help others by paying it forward. They continue to work with victims of Sandy in all 21 NJ counties that were affected by the storm, and they receive new applications for help every week.
The "Savoring the Shore" project has been nearly a two-year journey that has celebrated the NJ shore while raising funds for ongoing Sandy recovery through the community cookbook "Savoring the Shore." "Savoring" features 150+ recipes from celebrity chefs, restaurateurs, and home cooks with 100% of net proceeds going to ongoing Sandy recovery. Much has been done in the almost two years since Sandy, but many are still displaced. The need is great and our motto is "every little bit helps."
"Savoring" may be purchased through the link at left, a retailer listed at left, or at amazon.com.
