Jersey Strong has a Facebook and Twitter profile and are selling merchandise that benefits the Friends of Southern Ocean County Animal Shelter. 100% of proceeds go directly to the Animal Shelter. If you buy any apparel they ask, “…put it on and take a photo and post on our wall [or tweet it]. Let’s get this up and going—we want everyone to feel empowered and know how many people are ready to rebuild this state that we all call home—whether that means you are a local resident, a seasonal beach-goer, a visitor, or anyone else.” Any questions can be sent to jerseystrong1787@gmail.com.
