Farewell, NJ!

We're about to go through the Lincoln Tunnel in the U-Haul (no longer the U-Hungry?) and spend a little of our personal money on a cheap bed in NYC before we fly back to Seattle tomorrow night. "The U-Hungry, Too?" will make its inaugural run tomorrow. We loaded our gear into the new truck this afternoon and pulled out of NJ after many sweet farewells to locals and volunteers.

Our food run yesterday was bittersweet. We served roughly 700 meals and gave away most of our remaining food supply to hungry families on the way. Our last stop was at the Holly Hill hotel near Keansburg to drop off care packages to displaced families who are staying there. The very last U-Hungry? Cafe diner was a father of 4 children staying at the hotel. He brought out his adorable children to say thank you and we passed on a sizable cash donation that we reluctantly took at the beginning of our day.
 
We feel like we closed the circle on what we set out to do here in NJ and have gained as much as we've been blessed to give.
