The East Trenton Center serves more than a hundred families
every week by providing bags of food to help people in need. This
Thanksgiving, users of MeetMe, Skout and Tagged can purchase a
custom food donation gift to help make the season a little brighter
for those who need it the most.
“Food insecurity is a real issue for many families today. End
Hunger NJ notes that 13% of New Jersey residents, or more than 1.1
million, face this epidemic,” said The Meet Group’s Senior
Accounting Manager and Food Drive Coordinator, Leighanne Sadley.
“Our entire staff at TMG has donated for years to help consistently
fill the food pantry at the East Trenton Center and we’re excited
to have our users participate from all around the world this year
through our apps. America has a hunger problem and we all need to
do our part to help.”
The Meet Group plans to make a donation for every East Trenton
Center Food Bank gift sent in the apps up to an aggregate of
$10,000 to the East Trenton Center Food Bank. The limited edition
gift will be available from November 22nd through November
29th.
“The Meet Group’s donations over the last two years have been
received with tears and celebration,” said Liz Leonard, East
Trenton Center’s Director. “The company provided 13,500 items in
2018, which helped feed hundreds of people. My heart breaks for
these families who have great need and when The Meet Group is so
generous, I do not have to turn anyone away who is hungry.”
“The reality is that people are not just hungry at Thanksgiving
or other holidays. They are hungry throughout the year,” said
Dennis ONeill, Pastor of Calvary Baptist Church in Hopewell, New
Jersey. “The additional funds from these donations will help the
ETC serve their clients all year long. That means hundreds of kids
in the East Trenton area won’t have to go to bed hungry every night
and seniors won’t have to decide between buying food or needed
medications. It doesn’t take much to have a significant impact on
the lives of others who are in need. Some of the most
transformative moments of my life have been seeing the grateful
tears of parents who will be able to feed their kids because of the
compassion of others.”
