A nonprofit organization that seeks to “break the chains of poverty” by deploying people into specific communities to help meet humanitarian, educational, medical, social and spiritual needs will hold a grand opening ceremony Saturday, May 21 from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. at its headquarters at the old Pinewood Estates Firehouse on Route 72 in Barnegat Township.

The event at Starve Poverty International will feature a “day of family-oriented fun,” said Ron Fraser, founder and president.
