Local event provides
meals to 400 families in need
EAST RUTHERFORD, NJ (June 15, 2017) – On June 15th,
the Meadowlands Racetrack hosted a feed the hungry event in partnership with Feed the Children, a non-profit
organization dedicated to ending child hunger. Working with Feed the Children,
local volunteers will distribute meals and supplies to more than 400 families.
Poverty hurts nearly one in seven American children, making
it difficult for them to get nutritious food that helps them grow healthy and
strong. Feed the Children focuses on providing hope and resources for those
without life’s essentials by connecting donors, experts, partners, leaders and
communities to attack the problem from all angles.
In addition to Feed The Children, the Racetrack partnered
with Concord Hospitality Enterprises and the Meadowlands Family Success Center
& Veterans Services to distribute the meals.
“Meadowlands Racing & Entertainment is an important
piece of the community here in New Jersey and one of our main goals is to work
with our neighbors to make a meaningful impact for the people who live here,”
said Jason M. Settlemoir, Meadowlands General Manager and COO.
