In observance of National Hunger Action Month in September, the Atlantic City Seafood Festival will again support the Community Food Bank of New Jersey by donating a portion of festival proceeds to this important organization. Hunger Action Month, a nationwide Feeding America campaign, challenges the public to take action by promoting ways for individuals everywhere to get involved with the movement to help solve the issue of hunger in America. Also, back by popular demand, the 2017 Chowder Cook-Off will benefit the Community Food Bank. In 2016, the Atlantic City Seafood Festival raised close to $10,000 which is the equivalent of $100,000 in food distributed throughout the Garden State! This year, festival producers plan to increasing that donation with the support of our participating restaurants and festival attendees, one cup of chowder at a time!
Returning to the Seafood Festival is the 2nd Annual Pet Costume Contest benefiting the Humane Society of Atlantic County! Festival goers are encouraged to dress their pets in their Sunday Best and show off their four-legged friends! The Pet Costume Contest will take place on Sunday, September 10th and will begin promptly at 3:00pm. Pets will be judged in the following categories: Most Original, Best Sea Creature Theme, People’s Choice, Owner/Pet look-alike. To enter the Pet Costume Contest, sign-up at the Humane Society Booth for a $5 minimum donation. All proceeds from the Pet Costume Contest will benefit The Humane Society of Atlantic County.
