The private non-profit organization also offers educational and health services, along with job training, to support families and individuals in need. Since its inception over a quarter century ago, the ShopRite of Hunterdon County Run for Hunger has raised nearly $670,000 for Norwescap, and event organizers hope to raise an additional $35,000 for the organization this year.
