Following a three-week summer
food drive, officials from McGarvey Development recently delivered approximately
750 pounds of food and $325 in donations to the local Salvation Army office on
Edison Avenue.
McGarvey Development coordinated
several employee food drives and urged the public to bring in donations after
reports that the local nonprofit has been struggling to keep up with the demand
for food this summer. According to the Salvation Army, the number of families
seeking assistance from the local office has nearly doubled since last year.
'We heard about the Salvation
Army's need for donations this summer and felt we had to do something,' said
John McGarvey, president and CEO of McGarvey Development Company. 'We are thrilled with the response from
the public as well as our employees, vendors and business partners. Together we
have helped put food on the tables of local families in need.'
