Volunteers comprised of area families and businesses, under the leadership of Lori DeCoite, have created the Metuchen Fund/Families for Families, a fundraising effort to assist three local families in the wake of recent difficulties. Since Metuchen is known to be a close and caring community, it's no surprise that families are stepping up to help each other out.
Their first order of business is a family-style spaghetti dinner, on Friday, November 14th, at the Metuchen First Aid Hall (who have donated that space for this event). A fun event is planned. D'Italia of Edison will donate the dinner, which will include bread, salad and the full spaghetti dinner and Young Chefs Academy of Hillsborough will donate the desserts.
READS (Real Estate Advisory and Development Services Inc.) and the Port Authority of NY/NJ have donated additional services so that the entirety of funds collected will go to those who need it the most. The suggested donation per family is $20. Tickets are on sale now! If you want to be part of this delicious event, reservations are a must! Local Girl and Boy Scout troops will be on hand to help facilitate the three seatings (5:00-5:45 PM, 6:00-6:45 PM and 7:00-7:45 PM).
For those who are unable to attend, The Metuchen Fund will accept monetary donations without reservations as well.
