The Franklin Food Bank was one of four Somerset County food pantries to recently receive a total of $25,000 in donations from the Somerset Patriots minor league baseball organization.
The checks were presented by Somerset Patriots Co-Chairmen Jonathan and Josh Kalafer as part of a “Somerset Challenge” matching grant that produced more than $50,000 in total donations during the recent holidays. The donations are expected to help tens of thousands of Somerset County residents in need.
