Bergen Highlands/Ramsey Rotary Club Donates New Truck to Center for Food Action

The Bergen Highlands/Ramsey Rotary Club recently joined with other donors to purchase a new refrigerated truck for the Center for Food Action.

CFA collects food for distribution to those in need at its eight sites and warehouses throughout Bergen County. Valued at over $70,000, the new refrigerated truck will help CFA meet the growing needs of our less fortunate neighbors, particularly during the upcoming holiday season.
