Egg Harbor City, NJ — In the land of the free helping those in need can be considered a criminal act if one does not file the right paperwork and pay the right official for the 'privilege' of being kind and helping others. As the case below illustrates, even when these acts of charity are saving the lives of children, the heartless state will step in to stop it—if you haven't paid them.

In December, Angela Seri Krukauskas decided that she wanted to help people during the Holiday season, so she began a food pantry. The feedback from the community was overwhelming, as well as the response from those in need. Once the community began coming together, the operation quickly turned from a simple food pantry into something much more.

As Egg Harbor City News notes, "by December 18, 2017, her husband Tom had the box built and the pantry was stocked and many in need started benefiting from it. The pantry, located at 350 Boston Ave. has the saying, " Take a blessing if you need one, Leave a blessing if you can. For note information (609)-287-2450. The following day donations started pouring in. She started the hashtag #no1hungryinEHC. On December 21, 2017, Christmas gifts started being donated. Due to the amount of gifts received, Angela and those who donated were able to give 41 children Christmas, that otherwise they would not have received."
