Realtors Hold Collection For Atlantic City Rescue Mission
NEW JERSEY - Realtors are giving back to the community during the Triple Play Realtor Convention and Trade Expo, which is scheduled for December 9 to 11. The New Jersey, New York State and Pennsylvania Association of REALTORS® will host a food drive for the Atlantic City Rescue Mission (ACRM), to show appreciation to the community for hosting Triple Play for the past eight years. Convention attendees are encouraged to bring non-perishable food items, canned goods or monetary donations.
All donations will assist the Atlantic City Rescue Mission in its efforts to care for the poor and homeless in southern New Jersey. Located across the street from the Atlantic City Convention Center, where Triple Play is being held, the ACRM has been serving the homeless since 1964. They serve approximately 647 meals per day, house 194 men, 39 women and nine mothers with 13 children each night and provide clothing for the working poor and homeless. The mission also provides an average of 124 emergency food baskets each month to local families in crisis. More than 3,000 people are assisted by ACRM each year.
During the convention, a drop-off box will be located at the Messages and Information Desk at the Trade Expo entrance (Level 2, Hall B). The mission needs the following items: non-perishable food items, canned goods, peanut butter and jelly, sugar, coffee, diapers (medium and large), handi-wipes, facial tissue, Tylenol, aspirin or ibuprofen, cough, cold and flu medications (for adults and children) and cash donations are always appreciated.
