TOMS RIVER – Pets like this one is available at the Toms River Animal Shelter. Raiden is a fun and loving dog. He is very active and loves room to run around. Raiden is somewhat of a handful and we are requiring the potential adopter to have some kind of husky experience. Huskies are a lot of fun, but experience in the breed is something we are looking for in finding Raiden a forever home.

Donate Your Used Cell Phones For This Worthy Cause

OCEAN COUNTY – Nancy Seibert has been collecting for “Cell Phones for Soldiers” since 2006. She has combined forces with Bayville based “Support the Troops Project” led by Lloyd Mullikin since 2004, who mails these cards and packages overseas to our troops in harm’s way.

Cell phones collected, in any condi - tion, are not reused but sent to a recycler. Cords and cases are not necessary. The profits are then sent to the organization headquarters from which Nancy orders her free, true 60-minute calling cards. They are provided for those in the military who are unable to contact their families without incurring monumental expense during their deployment. They also accept monetary donations to offset Lloyd’s shipping expenses. Checks can be made out to VFW9503 with a notation in the memo “Support the Troops.” Checks can be mailed to Lloyd Mullikin, 307 Allaire Avenue Bayville, NJ 08721 or call him at 732-269-1397.

To date, Nancy has collected over 23,000 cell phones and mailed over

100,000 calling cards. If you have a loved one serving overseas, contact Nancy at 732-232-5410.

5K: Continued From Page 1

Larry’s Home and that they hope to do another 5K in the future.

“We walk by faith and not by sight,” Hulse said.

Larry’s Home would be named after Hulse’s childhood friend Larry Robertiello. He served two tours in Kuwait and Baghdad during Operation Iraqi Freedom. He served from October of 2001 to July of 2004, reaching the rank of Specialist in the Army and receiving four medals. He worked as a plumber in his civilian life. However, when he got home, he suffered from PTSD and addiction, which claimed his life. A year-round shelter would be a tran - sitional facility, because the goal is to make them independent. Additionally, having one location gives them the consistency that fosters safety, trust, and a home base for them to get the services they need to get back on their feet.

Several religious and other welfare groups host overnight shelters, filling in the gap in service because Ocean County’s leaders refuse to establish a permanent shelter. Many have explained that it can be paid for by a fund fueled by a $5 fee on every real estate transaction but the County Commissioners said they didn’t want to charge people that.

Hulse thanked the supporters and participants for their help in this endeavor.
