Middletown Community Affairs Council Partners with MCSO for Grover Burial Ground Cleanup
The Middletown Township Community Affairs Council and Monmouth County Sheriff's Office's (MCSO) Inmate Labor Detail recently assisted at the Grover Burial Ground in Lincroft, where they cleared debris and brush and helped maintain the grounds. The crew did such a good job that afterwards the Middletown Community Affairs Council noticed there were four additional headstones buried among the overgrown landscape! As a result of this discovery, the council is researching the identity of those buried so they can be remembered and respected properly.
The Inmate Labor Program, run through the MCSO Corrections Division, is a valuable resource and saves communities from cleanup costs. The service also helps re-integrate individuals back into society.
