JSARS Clothing Drive Benefits Local Church

JSARS Clothing Drive Benefits Local Church

The Jersey Shore Amateur Radio Society (JSARS), located in Toms River, New Jersey conducted a clothing drive and donated various articles of clothing to the First United Methodist Church of Toms River for the Spring Rummage Sale.

A member of JSARS donated time and the use of his truck to facilitate transporting all the containers of clothing. Members of JSARS and volunteers of The First United Methodist Church unloaded the truck and carried bundles of clothing into the Family Life Center building. Volunteers will separate the clothing into appropriate categories for the rummage sale.

Laura, one of the volunteers assisting with the rummage sale queried if JSARS has members who are veterans. Indeed, JSARS has veterans as well as non-veterans in our membership. Laura thanked JSARS for the donation to the rummage sale and thanked the veterans for their service. Quite a nice gesture.

The First United Methodist Church serves the community of Toms River with many functions such as the Rummage sale, Pancake Breakfasts, Soup kitchen and Holly Berry Bazaar and many others.

JSARS was incorporated in 1971 with the purposes of contributing our assistance to the best advantage in the event of an emergency, to assist any local government when the necessity arises or when requested by duly authorized and responsible persons and to further interest in amateur radio in the general community.

As our banner indicates, the Jersey Shore Amateur Radio Society is “More Than Just a Radio Club.”
