East Rutherford, NJ – With the COVID-19 pandemic hitting Bergen County
extremely hard the Meadowlands Racetrack wanted to help the community in any
way possible.
After learning the Meadowlands YMCA was working with Table to Table to
distribute meals to families in need, the Meadowlands Racetrack and its
restaurant partner Ark Meadowlands pitched in to help feed the local community.
The racetrack donated over 500 meals along with fresh vegetables, cases of
water, gatorade and soda to the Meadowlands YMCA. Employees volunteered their
time to help pack up the meal boxes and bag the vegetables.
“When we learned that our community was in need, we knew we could help
immediately,” said Jason Settlemoir, COO & GM of the Meadowlands Racetrack.
“I’d like to thank Jennifer Jordan for organizing this food drive for us and
Marianne Rotella, Marcello Esposito, Lisa Smoter, Rachel Ryan and Raul Perez
for working so hard on getting this done.”
“We are looking forward to our return to racing when it is safe to do so,”
continued Settlemoir. “We encourage everyone to remain at home and stay healthy
and we look forward to seeing everyone back at the track.”
