Deadline Approaches for Flood Survivor Food Assistance

Those hit by the storm may be eligible for a food benefit--but you must apply by 6 p.m. Wednesday.

If you suffered losses due to Hurricane Irene, you may be eligible for a one-time food benefit, according to an announcement on the official township website. To take advantage of this effort, you need to get to the Police Athletic League building soon: The deadline to apply is Wednesday at 6 p.m.

The effort is part of the Federal Supplemental Nutritional Assistance Program. The food benefit amount varies according to gross monthly income and family size guidelines. Find out if you qualify and apply at the PAL building, 33 Baldwin Road. If you need help, Morris County social services staffers will be on hand to assist you in completing a short application. The building is open from 8 a.m.-6 p.m.
