Baked With Gratitude

TWO BOYS WHO WANT TO SHOW THEIR GRATITUDE TO THEIR TOWN IN A VERY SWEET WAY.

This Memorial Day weekend, ​Joshua and Matthew Portnoy had plans to run the Spring Lake Five Mile Run to kick off summer with thousands of others runners.

Since the race has been postponed due to Covid-19, they decided to do something else to bring the community together.

​On race day, May 23, they will be delivering baskets of cookies and candies with thank you notes from the community to the Spring Lake First Responders as a show of gratitude, and we hope you'll join us!  While we planned to bake at home, safety regulations have made us change our plans slightly, but we will still be making sweet baskets of thanks :)

 All proceeds will be donated to  Fulfill Monmouth & Ocean County Food Bank.
