Marketsmith Gives Back: Camden Street School 2013

The Camden Street Thanksgiving dinner is just a few days away.  Please help us feed as many hungry mouths as possible.

                                                                  

More than 50% of the children of Camden Street School in Newark live every day never knowing when their next opportunity to eat will be, or if they'll get one.  Hunger threatens their health, their futures, and their lives, but we have a chance to change that.

We may not be able to end poverty in one fell swoop, but we can extend a hand to our struggling, Northern New Jersey neighbors and give them the healthy, filling meal that they need and so deserve. This Thanksgiving season, I am asking you to join us in taking the first steps to making a real difference in the lives of the Camden Street School children and their families. Please join Marketsmith, Inc. team members, families, and friends as we provide nutritious meals to all 500 families of the Camden Street School.

Just $35 dollars feeds one whole family with a healthful Thanksgiving meal, and 100% every dollar we receive goes directly to feeding Camden Street families.  Together, we can create one night where these children and their families can come together in a safe and loving environment to enjoy the kind of Thanksgiving dinner that so many of us take for granted. This Thursday, on November 14th, please help us put a spark of hope back into the lives of 500 Camden Street School families as we Bring Dinner Home.

 

 

By donating $35 to purchase local supermarket gift cards or sending a gift that an underprivileged family would benefit from, you can make a difference in the New Jersey community – one meal at a time.  We are also welcoming ShopRite gift cards, Visa cards, games, and school supplies.

 

Please send all donations to:
