The community presentation will be held on Wednesday, June 5th from 6:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. at the Hoboken Multi Service Center, located at 124 Grand St. to share the organization’s plans to build a permanent pantry program at 122 Adams St.
HCC Board members and senior leadership will be present to answer questions and share more details.
Additionally, the Hoboken Zoning Board of Adjustment is currently scheduled to vote on the matter at a June 18th hearing at City Hall, 94 Washington St., at 7 p.m.
The public hearing announcements comes the day after the nonprofit announced that they could fund the new pantry space after the Hudson County Board of Commissioners approved the aforementioned grant last week.
The pantry is a community resource for supplemental food, hygiene, and pet supplies in Hoboken and surrounding communities experiencing food insecurity or other hardships.
They are also a member agency of the Community FoodBank of New Jersey and serves more than 3,500 households with supplemental food, hygiene and pet supplies.
Each month, the organization hands out an average of 950 bags of groceries and 300 hygiene bags.
As usual the Ravi Administration kept the 124 Grand Street plans hidden from the neighbors most affected by the placement of this new food pantry an how it will change where they live.
The meetings are just for show as everything has already been decided and Bhalla’s people are in place to push this forward. Anyone who opposes or even questions their methods will as usual be smeared and vilified.
no meetings with the locals in the fourth ward just have a big press conference and publicity stunt show at the multiservice center so they can force feed it down Ruben Ramos and Russo’s neighborhood
Could you imagine if it was going to go near the Hudson Tea building? They have two years of hearings these are people that don’t want a tiny dispensary near their multimillion dollar condominiums or brownstones, but they’ll shove a practical homeless shelter on a residential block.
Fact is Tommorazzo of the HCC had secret agenda to make it a shelter for Homeless Teens
THAT IS A FACT
Homeless teens who age out of foster care… are soon homeless adults
