We are grateful and thank Bristol-Myers Squibb for holding a food drive collection for us! Thank you to the many generous employees that donated a wide array of provisions. Our non-perishable product shelves will be filled for a long time, as you help us help the clientele in the Bentley program. Thank You!
It truly is an honor and privilege to serve working families in our communities, not qualifying for assistance and in need of relief during their struggles making ends meet. By providing and creating access to a full range of fresh and nutritious foods and more weekly, families save crucial monies to put towards reducing debts, paying monthly bills, medical costs and making a much needed repair. By doing this weekly, families get on the fast track towards recovery, fulfilling their goal of self-sufficiency. And, their households have a diverse amount of healthy, fresh and nutritious foods and staples to feed their families.
In 2016, Bentley redistributed 287,620 lbs. of surplus foods donated from our generous providers and helping hands volunteers helped us by logging 17,862 volunteer hours!
Thank you to the entire community at Bentley Community Services!
Bentley, in addition to truly healthy and nutritious fresh food provisions, is blessed to receive the most beautiful and diverse array of flowers and plants from Trader Joe’s each week. Families are so grateful to receive these, adding bursts of color, enjoyment and happiness throughout their homes! Working with the flowers, the end results are magnificent!
Employee work teams from Novo Nordisk offered their helping hands at the Bentley warehouse distribution facility, sorting perishable and non-perishable food provisions, flowers and plants from our scheduled pickups and non-perishable food provisions and toiletries from our food drive. We were blessed to have them offer their helping hands Saturday and Monday! They chose Bentley for their philanthropic days of giving in celebration of Martin Luther King and we thank everyone for their terrific work!
Despite cold temperatures and snow showers Saturday, Bentley had another successful food drive collection of non-perishable food provisions and toiletries! A huge thank you to ShopRite and the generous community of shoppers that donated over 1,700 lbs. of provisions. A big thank you to the group of helping hands volunteers – we appreciate you and are grateful for your help!
Thank you to Pam McKenzie and her knitting group for knitting beautiful and colorful hats and scarves for each of the families! They are truly lovely and are so appreciated, providing warmth to so many!
We wish you a very Happy New Year! As 2016 comes to a close, we truly are grateful to everyone in the Bentley community: generous providers, generous supporters, community and participant families and volunteers, numerous partner organizations and more.
Wishing you happiness, health, peace, the love of family and friends, abundance, a positive outlook and forward movement in the New Year!
How cute and adorable is this? A gingerbread house kit from Trader Joe’s was distributed to one of the families and they were so thrilled and excited. That same evening little Rian is putting the finishing touches on and could not resist a little taste!
We wish you a very Merry Christmas filled with peace, joy, the love of family and friends and abundance, health and happiness in the New Year!
We received a bounty of generous donations of much need toiletries from the members and staff at Princeton Fitness & Wellness in Princeton. Thank you so much for collecting toiletries for the families in the Bentley program during the season of giving!
