“The Military Club of TOMS RIVER NORTH HIGH SCHOOL volunteered all weekend, boxing up all the donations and lending a helping hand whenever it was needed,” WJRZ Promotions Dir. MARIE SENKELESKI-DALEY said. “We’d like to thank JOE D’AMBRO and the entire staff at KELLER WILLIAMS REALTY, who delivered a trailer full of donations to the 100.1 WJRZ 'Share the Joy' charity drive. In addition, DOUG HYNOSKI, a teacher at HOOPER AVENUE ELEMENTARY SCHOOL in TOMS RIVER, who lent his support by hosting a food drive and collected over 1,200 food items and 12 cases of food from their Food Trucks, Fire Pits and S’mores Night."

“BIG BROTHERS AND BIG SISTERS OF OCEAN COUNTY (BBBS) is so grateful for the support of the community and the donations received during the 100.1 WJRZ Share the Joy,” BBBS Exec. Dir. SUE SEDIVIC said. “The toys we received will be given to children at our holiday party and to the families so they can put them under the tree for CHRISTMAS morning. There are no words for the happiness that 100.1 WJRZ and the community have brought to our children during this holiday season.”

“With the help of our dear friends at WJRZ, we will be able to assist families who are unable to provide themselves with a THANKSGIVING meal for their families,” added CAROL LATIF of OCEAN COUNTY HUNGER RELIEF OF TOMS RIVER. “Hunger doesn’t end at THANKSGIVING though. The donations that were received will benefit families long after the holidays.”

“Year after year, 100.1 WJRZ's listeners come through for local families in need at the holidays during our "Share the Joy" broadcasts, and 2017 was no exception,” WJRZ PD MATT KNIGHT said. “Knowing that the donations benefited their OCEAN COUNTY neighbors is a driving force behind this food/toy/clothing drive for our listeners. We're so proud of everyone for their support and generosity. 100.1 WJRZ's listeners are dedicated to ensuring that people are able to enjoy the holidays a little bit more than they would have.”
