Rebuild the Jersey Shore
My name is Joseph Driscoll"”I'm from Toms River, NJ. I attended Manchester Township High School and served on the Seaside Heights Beach Patrol during summers in college. I managed your local LA Fitness right there in the Seacourt Pavillion. I own a business in Toms River and am a licensed insurance producer in four states, including our great State of New Jersey. Most of all I'm a concerned cit
Yesterday, as I watched our horrible tragedy unfold a few friends and I thought it would be a good idea to put a Facebook group together to gather our community. However, by the time I went to bed last night our page had over 40,000 likes as well as thousands of messages offering assistance and donations.
We didn't expect all this. But we're taking it head on. We're connecting officials with various county and township OEM offices for coordination of cleanup efforts. We're setting up drop shops for relief materials and giving them directly to the first aid squads, fire departments and families who have directly asked us for our help. We're setting up fundraisers and will coordinate with local community leaders to determine who needs the most help the fastest:and that's where we'll start.
Many of us have wondered how we can get involved over the last few days with no answer. Well, we have an answer for you. If you don't want to drop off your food at our centers:message us and we'll get you in contact with someone who's directly in need. If you don't want to donate let us know:we'll refer you directly to a family in need. We're getting rid of the red tape and getting help to our community.
Despite the few who insist on damning our efforts we have tens of thousands of strong supporters. Already donations and items are piling in. We are amazed at what New Jersey has come together and done. We WILL REBUILD OUR SHORE.
