False Donation Rumors
The New Jersey National Guard is not accepting donations of any kind at any of
its armories statewide. A circular was being distributed in Rockaway Townsquare
Mall earlier today which solicited donations of gloves, socks, shirts and
non-perishable foods which would be delivered to NYC search and rescue workers.
This is not legitimate. We are asking the media to inform their readers
that there is no current donation program through the NJ National Guard
and that we will have no alternative but to turn potential donors away.
