A North Jersey-based nonprofit celebrated a milestone this month.
The organization Family Promise of Bergen County has been serving meals to the homeless for 34 years and just served their 1.5 millionth meal.
The walk-in dinner program began in Hackensack in 1991. The premise was simple - if you're giving them shelter, give them something to eat.
This milestone is a celebration - not only of all the good they've done - but the countless volunteers who've helped out through the years.
Family Promise has never missed a day of serving food in 34 years.
