Give the gift of thanks to families in need this Thanksgiving by donating $10 to purchase a turkey for The Mercer Street Friends, & the JM Group will match each donation. "Purchases" may be made at Witherspoon Grill, Blue Point Grill and Nassau Street Seafood & Produce Company. The turkeys, provided by J. Vrola (www.vrola.com), will be donated in time for Thanksgiving, and will help feed hundreds
of families this holiday season. The Mercer Street Friends Food Bank channels three million pounds of food and groceries annually to more than 60 food assistance programs run by food pantries, soup kitchens, shelters and non-emergency feeding sites. The programs of the Food Bank reach 25,000 children, adults and seniors at risk for hunger and food insecurity.
Last year, the food bank collected almost 3,500 turkeys to distribute to families in need, but according to the Food Bank community resource liaison, due to low funding this year, they are unable to purchase as many turkeys as they have in the past, yet they continue to have a long waiting list requesting food.
Please help the JM Group reach our goal of 100 + turkeys to be donated this Thanksgiving.
