As the fight against the coronavirus continues, Peapack-Gladstone Bank has focused on its unwavering support of nonprofits, local organizations and food banks through monetary donations, volunteer engagement and community service. Ensuring food security within the Garden State is taking on increased urgency, especially amongst individuals and families whose finances have been impacted by COVID-19, struggling to make ends meet.
Throughout the years, Peapack-Gladstone Bank’s community service and support have made an impact in improving the lives of countless individuals in New Jersey, and this summer is no exception. In this time of uncertainty, New Jersey’s food banks are seeing a record increase in the number of people in need of help.
Hence, the Bank has stepped up its efforts in providing support to America’s Grow-a-Row based in Pittstown, New Jersey who grows and delivers fresh fruit and vegetables where it is needed most. By delivering fresh, healthy produce to New Jersey food banks and countless financially deprived individuals in impoverished areas, America’s Grow-a-Row has made an impact in alleviating food insecurity within the Garden State, protecting low-income individuals and their families from hunger and related illness.
Peapack-Gladstone Bank will continue its ongoing support to the growing needs of the communities we serve and is committed to making a real, tangible difference in the lives of New Jersey’s residents, ensuring everyone has the food they need during this difficult time.
