BRIDGEWATER, NJ – In a significant community effort, the Somerset Patriots, along with Clinton Honda and Land Rover Princeton, have donated $25,000 to four Somerset County food banks.
The donation, part of the “Somerset Challenge” matching grant initiative, generated over $50,000 in total contributions, aimed at supporting local residents facing food insecurity.
The Kalafer family, co-chairmen of the Somerset Patriots, presented the ceremonial checks during a recent event. Attendees included Patrick McVerry, President/GM of the Somerset Patriots, representatives from the beneficiary organizations, and Somerset County Commissioner Doug Singleterry.
This campaign was a collaborative effort involving the Kalafer family’s businesses, the Somerset County Board of Commissioners, and the Somerset County Office of Emergency Management.
The initiative was launched in response to rising food prices and decreased federal support.
