The FoodBank of Monmouth and Ocean Counties will receive the
proceeds from Freehold’s “Racing toward Recovery Day.”
“We will be donating our share of the live handle that day to the
FoodBank,” said Standardbred Breeders & Owners Association President Tom
Luchento. “On a Saturday, that could represent several thousand dollars.
“Our office at 64 Business Route 33 in Manalapan also is serving
as a drop off point for donations,” Luchento added. “We will accept
non-perishable food items and cash for the FoodBank through Friday, December
14.”
Freehold Raceway has announced that it will name its feature race
the Hurricane Sandy Pace on December 15. Additionally, the proceeds for
any race sponsorships that day will be donated to the FoodBank.
Freehold will offer a free live program to all patrons making a
non-perishable food donation.
The FoodBank of Monmouth and Ocean Counties, founded in 1984,
serves more than 260 pantries, soup kitchens and other feeding programs with
over seven million pounds of food distributed annually.
