BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN HELPS THE NEEDY

Good hearted Bruce Springsteen is helping to feed the needy and hungry in his native New Jersey, by backing a new campaign to boost the food supplies of a local food bank. The music star will appear in a newspaper advertisement for the Community Food Bank of New Jersey, encouraging his neighbors in the state to help the non-profit organization survive the current economic downturn. Food bank bosses estimate the financial crisis has grown the number of those in need of food by 30 per cent, and they admit supplies may have to be rationed for the first time. Springsteen is a long-time supporter of the cause, and has, in the past, donated concert proceeds and encouraged fans to bring food donations to gigs.
