Toms River district to organize relief drive for hurricane-affected communities
Summary
Board member Mr. Sinha described a districtwide relief effort partnering with retired superintendents and logistics groups to palletize and ship short-list items (water, diapers, etc.) directly to distribution centers serving areas hit by Hurricane Helene.
A board member described a district-organized relief effort for communities affected by Hurricane Helene and other ongoing storms. The member said retired superintendents and community partners are coordinating logistics and that a tractor-trailer will be staged to collect palletized short-list donations.
"Toms River Regional School District and its community will once again be stepping up to support those in need," the board member said, outlining plans to gather requested items and deliver them directly to distribution centers managed by local partners.
The chair asked staff to caution students and families to donate only items on the short list so relief organizations are not overwhelmed; the chair said that categories and palletization will help distribution teams sort and deliver supplies faster.
