So far, 80 percent of the deaths from COVID-19 are people over the age of 65.

"It's scary for them to even come out of the house," Lt. James Novak said. "We saw the issue and we worked with some local food pantries and just said 'hey, how can we help'?"

A majority of the food delivered was donated by local nonprofits.

"We want to thank the Sayreville Care and Share food pantry, Our Lady of Victories food pantry, and The First Presbyterian Church of Sayreville for all of your donations," the department added.
