Making A Difference: BTDC

March 27, 2025

Wow…did the BTDC make a difference!

Steve Katz, Executive Director of the Food Bank Network of Somerset County, spoke to a large crowd of attendees at the BTDC’s February open meeting and explained the organization’s ongoing needs as they work to meet the demands of residents facing food insecurity. Steve spoke to their current challenges as well as new complications pending legislation out of Washington, DC.

In doing so, he presented an upcoming project the food bank is undertaking – the construction of a protective canopy that will shield visitors, often waiting in line for provisions, from inclement weather. Katz estimated the project costs would exceed $16,000 and discussed his interest in partnering with the BTDC to raise money toward this and other endeavors.

In the weeks following this event, a very generous anonymous donor from the BTDC audience committed to fully fund the organization’s project, demonstrating the power of local communities and gatherings to affect positive change!

It’s pretty simple, really. It says something when you support a candidate for governor who says he’s all in on Trump. We believe Bernards Township deserves better. Watch the Video on YouTube
