Heights Area Supports Our Troops’ Families On Saturday, March 3, 2007, Hasbrouck Heights Area residents conducted a food drive to benefit the Military Family’s Assistance Center at the Teaneck Armory, located at 1799 Teaneck Road, Teaneck, NJ. Donations were dropped off at the VFW Post 4591, 513 Veterans Place in Hasbrouck Heights between 9:00 a.m. and 3:00 p.m. About 500 bags of food were donated to include canned goods, cereal, soup, pasta, canned meats, baby food and paper products. The Center in Teaneck assists local military families who are finding it hard to make ends meet. Their spouse is deployed in Iraq, Afghanistan and other posts around the world. Access to the food pantry requires showing a Military ID card. Volunteers who collected food at the VFW and delivered the collection to the Teaneck Armory included members of VFW Post 4591, Hasbrouck Heights Fire Department, Bergen County O.E.M., Bergen County CERT based in Ridgefield, etc. The truck and driver were donated by Cohen’s Trucking.
