STAFFORD, NJ – Mark your calendars! Family Promise of the Jersey Shore, an Ocean County based non-profit organization, will co-host with Stafford Township Mayor Gregory Myhre, the Bunny Hop 5K Fun Run and Walk at the Stafford Township Municipal Complex in Manahawkin on Sunday, April 2, 2023! Family Promise of the Jersey Shore is dedicated to helping families experiencing homelessness and economic uncertainty to achieve sustainable independence through prevention programs, advocacy, and community support services in Ocean County.
“At the Bunny Hop 5K Fun Run and Walk, the community can come together to get active and learn about the impacts of homelessness here in Ocean County and how they can help. Community support is imperative to our mission”, said Elizabeth Golla, Executive Director of Family Promise of the Jersey Shore.
