Thanks for an interesting discussion. I have worked for non-profits and done many things to help the poor. (I am low-income myself, at least right now.) I guess I should volunteer more-is that why you posted the United Way link?
According to their website, the Jersey Shore Rescue Mission does take women too. :) Good thing, since it's the only shelter around, now that the the Fort is closed. http://jsrescue.org/ I guess my point is that the changes on the east side don't seem to be helping the west side-crime, etc. I know the economy is bad but it bothers me, and makes me feel less safe walking around alone in Asbury. -heather --- In AsburyPark@yahoogroups.com, "2fast4u" <sharon_b283@...> wrote: > > > I found this online: > > www.uwmonmouth.org/contact-us > Mailing Address.
