What does it take to become a Humanitarian Honoree? The Humanitarian Award at the Gala is awarded to those who go above and beyond in helping to make a difference in our communities by either financial means or donation of their time. importantly, they are chosen because they are extraordinary individuals or organizations.”

Manahawkin- Linda Keenan, the Development Director at The FoodBank of Monmouth and Ocean Counties, sat down to talk about what the Humanitarian Gala means to The FoodBank, and to her personally. “The annual Gala is an opportunity to recognize members of our community who have gone above and beyond in our fight against hunger. And this year, the FoodBank is very pleased to honor Humanitarians, who include Jules Plangere Jr., Press Communications LLC; Wegmans; and our Junior Humanitarian Kyra Citron as well as our Agency Partner, St. Francis Community Center in Long Beach Island. The honorees are so important because they demonstrate the value and impact of neighbors helping neighbors. They are selected because of strong commitment to The FoodBank mission and support over many years. But most

As last year’s Honoree Ken Marowitz, the owner of Frank’s Big and Tall, puts it, “It was quite an honor for our family to be recognized by the FoodBank. We all felt it was really a wonderful tribute to our father who started our relationship with the FoodBank almost 30 years ago. He would have been embarrassed by the attention but proud of being recognized by such a worthwhile organization. Frank’s Big & Tall has been supported by the communities of Monmouth and Ocean Counties for over 50 years. We feel we have a civic duty to give back to the communities that have supported us. We chose the FoodBank because it directly helps our neighbors in need of basic essentials. No one should go hungry and we cannot imagine the situation some of our neighbors would be in without the food and resources that the FoodBank provides.” Linda admits that her favorite part of the Gala is when the honorees speak about why they support the FoodBank. Many of their messages are about relating to difficult times in their lives or in those they know, and how they know the FoodBank can make a difference. The FoodBank cannot be successful without their devoted volunteers, partners and donors who don’t just give once but make the FoodBank a part of their personal core values. For those thinking about getting involved in an organization, Markowitz has some advice. “Find something you have a passion for or hits close to home, then take the first step. Whether it is making a small donation or volunteering, attach yourself or your business to a local cause. You are guaranteed

to feel better and can make a small difference at the same time.” If you already are involved, consider stepping it up and give a little more to ensure our no one in our community ever goes hungry! Join a committee, think of creative ways to raise additional funds, use your network to help support the cause. Small steps can add up to leaps and bounds when your heart is in it, and luckily, the FoodBank provides many opportunities to get involved with various programs.
