Stanfield, Torrissi & Umba Add School Supply Drop Off in Hammonton Town Hall

The Township of Hammonton is joining the 8th Legislative District's school supply drive by adding a collection box in town hall.

Senator Jean Stanfield, Assemblyman Michael Torrissi and Assemblyman Brandon Umba will be collecting school supplies and clothes for students of the Hammonton School District throughout the month of August.

The new collection box can be found in the municipal complex on 100 Central Avenue in Hammonton.

"I want to thank the Senator and assembly members for hosting this drive for our town's schools. The Town Council is excited to be a part of it and help kids in need in Hammonton," said Hammonton Mayor Steve DiDonato.

"The Hammonton School District is greatly appreciative of the generosity of so many to assist our students. As we prepare for the start of the 2022-2023 school year, these supplies will benefit many and ease the burden on our families. Thank you to all that have donated," said Hammonton Schools Superintendent Robin Chieco.
