Asbury Park Dinner Table supports local restaurants and those experiencing hunger in the community. Money raised by APDT is spent at local eateries to purchase meals for families in need.
“The Asbury Park Dinner Table is honored to have the Light of Day Foundation ‘shine a light’ on us as we now face the Winter months, which normally are stark in Asbury Park, but now are at a crisis stage with the addition of the pandemic,” said APDT co-founder Allison Kolarik in a press release. “We also thank and appreciate the artists donating their time and talent to this concert fundraiser in the Asbury Park community spirit that many of us know is something very special.”
