Meridian Supports “Eva’s Village” Food Drive

Paul Fierro of Eva’s Village and Kelly Manzo of Meridian stand with the many bags of food donated by employees for the annual Eva’s Village Food Drive.

Meridian conducted its annual Thanksgiving Food Drive in support of Eva’s Village, an organization dedicated to helping feed the hungry, by donating non-perishable food items brought in by employees.

This year, we filled over 20 bags with mac & cheese, soups, gravies, stuffing, and an assortment of other goods for the non-profit organization!

Eva’s Village opened its doors in Paterson New Jersey in 1982. They offer hot meals for up to 400 homeless and working poor per day, 365 days a year. Aside from these lunches, they serve breakfast and dinner to those staying in their outpatient recovery and sheltering programs. Their kitchen can produce up to 1,200 hot meals per day with over 438,000 hot meals served every year.

Aside from their kitchen and shelter, Eva’s Kitchen also runs an outpatient treatment program for those who are suffering from addiction, as well as job placement services. It’s an all-encompassing center to help people find their way back to a normal life.

Although the food drive has ended, you can still help Eva’s Village. If you would like to learn how, please visit their website at www.evasvillage.org.

On Monday, September 23, Meridian sent a foursome to play in the 35th Annual Teterboro Airport Community Benefit Fund Scholarship Golf Classic, held at the Forsgate Country Club in Monroe, NJ.

The proceeds from the event go to the Teterboro Airport Community Benefit Fund, which contributes to several scholarships in aviation. Overall, the event generates about $12,000 a year for local high school graduates.

Meridian continued its support this year by sponsoring the 4th hole on the Banks course. The historic Banks Course was designed by Charles H. Banks, one of America’s celebrated “Golden Age” architects.

While our team didn’t take a place on the podium this year, we had a great time playing and participating in the festivities. Meridian is proud to show our continued support of the event and of our Teterboro community.

This past week, Meridian proudly supported the 33rd Annual Teterboro Airport Community Benefit Fund Scholarship Golf Classic, which was held at Basking Ridge Country Club in Basking Ridge, NJ. The golf tournament raises funds for the Teterboro Airport Community Benefit Fund, which create scholarships totaling about $12,000 for local high schools.

Due to the overwhelming success and generosity of businesses both on and off the airport, the Teterboro Airport Scholarship Golf Classic has permitted the Teterboro Airport community to award 200 scholarships to local high school graduates aspiring to pursue higher education in aviation or related fields of study.

Meridian sponsored a hole at the event and sent a team of three to play in the tournament, including Ron Palmer, Bob Platten, and Nehemias Camacho. The team managed to place 4th overall in the tournament and shot an impressive score of 67 strokes. While they did not come home with any hardware, the team still enjoyed a fun round of golf while they supported a great cause. Special thanks to our team and to everyone who made the event possible.
