Towns that receive the funding also are able to pass through a percentage of the funding to nonprofit organizations that provide services to those in need.
Those funds have been the source of annual contributions by the township to a number of groups, including the Arc of Ocean County, Community Services Meals on Wheels, Dottie’s House and several other organizations.
