A sad story today but one we can do something about

OK, we're not talking about Jersey City here but Wantage in Sussex County. There a fire ripped through a barn owned by Assemblyman Parker Space. The worst part of all this (the barn can be repaired, thankfully) is that the Assemblyman had stored 150 turkeys for those less fortunate in the barn and those turkeys were destroyed which really sets back the effort to feed people in Sussex County.

When he read this Johnny called the Assemblyman Space's office to see if there was something we as a city of good people could do to help. Space's Chief of Staff said they don't have a fund set up or a place to make donations but that she's get back with Johnny and Johnny in turn will pass that info on to you. If you'd like to contact Sussex County Social Services directly you can find them at:
