Dr. Markowitz, DDS, patients and staff’s generous collection of non-perishable food provisions and toiletries was a sight to see! The entire hallway was lined with their generous donations. Thank you for your generous giving to Bentley this Christmas season to help replenish our shelves! Dr. Markowitz’s office is located in Branchburg, New Jersey.
We thank the parents, children and staff of The Learning Experience of Belle Mead for their truly generous giving during this season of giving.

We also thank you for the collection of non-perishable food provisions and toiletries. Bentley is truly blessed and grateful!

THANKSGIVING
Thoughts of fall
Have led us to
A familiar place
Near our hearts;
Knowing that we’ll
Soon be home to
Give to one another
In our unique ways,
Visiting old places,
Inventing new memories,
Near to each other,
Grateful for life’s bounty.
National Hunger & Homelessness Awareness Week is held each year the week before Thanksgiving. This is a time for us all to start to think about what we are thankful for, a perfect time to share our compassion with our neighbors who are experiencing hunger and homelessness, and work toward a world where no one has to experience hunger and homelessness. H&H week offers the chance to contribute to a national social movement. Numerous families in our region are struggling to makes ends meet and many are facing foreclosure and eviction.
Please make a difference this year by donating a turkey, fresh produce, non-perishable food products and toiletries to Bentley to help our neighbors in need experiencing financial difficulties in our Central New Jersey communities. Let us know you will be dropping off your donations at our distribution facility located at 4064 Route 1 North, Monmouth Junction, NJ. Our driveway is a sharp right after a steel guard rail once you pass Autumn Drive traveling Route 1 North from the Whispering Woods Boulevard light. Please call 908-227-0684 to let us know when you will be coming. Thank you for your generous donations helping our neighbors in need! We thank you for your giving!
Grateful is our community for the healthy and fresh produce we receive from our generous provider farms. Fresh kale arrived at Bentley along with specialty salsas, relishes, sauces, dressings and fresh apple cider! Thank you to Snyder’s Farm for your generous donations.
Weekly shopping to pick up healthy, fresh perishable and non-perishable food provisions and more, offsetting grocery bills weekly as much as we can is what Bentley is about! Crucial monies that are saved help families on the fast track towards regaining financial stability and security. Here are examples of shopping carts full of truly incredible and nutritious food provisions and more!
Informative workshops are held throughout the year for the participant families in the Bentley program on various important topics. New Bentley families are required to attend a financial workshop that covers understanding your finances, maximizing your financial resources, budgeting, controlling spending, how to save crucial dollars, hidden costs and fees to question and avoid, improving credit scores and so much more. Thank you, George for facilitating the workshop! Excellent workshop where everyone learned so much, as these families move forward towards their goal of financial stability and security.
