CONTACT of Ocean & Monmouth Counties hosted their Annual Spring Luncheon & Gift Auction to raise vital resources for their mission.
TOMS RIVER, N.J. - JerseyDesk -- More than 150 community members gathered at Spring Lake Manor on Saturday, May 17th for CONTACT of Ocean & Monmouth Counties' 38th Annual Spring Luncheon and Gift Auction supporting CONTACT's life-saving 24/7 crisis hotline.
For a $70 donation, attendees gained access to a three-course luncheon, gift auction, and Jumbo 50/50 Raffle. The gift auction featured a wide selection of quality gift baskets, gift certificates, door prizes and more.
All proceeds from the sold-out event supported CONTACT's mission: to provide trained telephone listeners who respond to human needs every hour of every day. CONTACT volunteers offer free and confidential crisis intervention, information on available resources and referrals to community services.
"Every dollar raised at the Gift Auction helps keep our 24/7 hotline open to someone who needs support, hope, or just a friendly ear," said Kim Santora, Executive Director of CONTACT of Ocean and Monmouth Counties. "We're so grateful to everyone who attended, donated, and made this event a success. The success of the Spring Luncheon & Gift Auction underscores the vital role CONTACT plays in the community."
