Here at Ginarte, we are very proud of our strong tradition of giving back to the community. This November, we continued that tradition by donating canned goods to the Community Foodbank of New Jersey during our Ginarte Food Drive.
Ginarte employees came together to shatter our goal for donations. At the outset of November, we set out to donate 750 pounds of food to the Community Foodbank. At the completion of the drive, we donated over 950 pounds of variety of canned food, pasta, beans, rice, and other non-perishable foods.
The Community Foodbank of New Jersey supplies food to feeding programs at some 1,500 non-profit charities in 18 New Jersey Counties. The charities include soup kitchens, food pantries, shelters, smaller foodbanks, after school programs and senior centers among others. Many of those who are helped require temporary assistance – a hand up due to a sudden illness, a loss of a job, or some other catastrophe. Others, because of their circumstances, will always require assistance. The Community Foodbank of New Jersey is currently helping to feed over 900,000 NJ residents each year.

We are ecstatic that we were able to give to the less fortunate. In addition to the food drive, the Ginarte firm most recently participated in a toys for tots campaign to donate toys to underprivileged children over the holidays.
From our Ginarte family to yours, we would like to wish you happy and safe holidays.
