New Jersey Colonials travel hockey team coaches, New Jersey Devils alum to play benefit game at Mennen Arena at 7 p.m.
Mennen Arena, in Morris Township, hosts ice skating Friday nights. At least, it did, before Sandy hit. Then, it was the county's designated storm shelter.

A benefit for the victims of Hurricane Sandy, called "War to Restore New Jersey," is set for 7 p.m. Friday at the arena.

Local food pantries struggling to keep up with the demand this holiday season.
For food pantries across Northern New Jersey, Hurricane Sandy dealt a double blow: It increased the number of families in need of assistance and shortened the span between Halloween (which Gov.

Prior to the storm, the Community Food Bank of New Jersey reported more than 960,000 residents of Northern New Jersey are food insecure, meaning at times they lack access to enough food to maintain an active, healthy life. The Community Food Bank is hosting its annual Thanksgiving Food Drive this Saturday, Nov. 17 from 9am to 2pm at the following locations: Morris County Passaic County Sommerset County
