Hundreds of Sussex County families will be able to enjoy a Thanksgiving turkey with all of the trimmings this year, thanks to the generosity of local businesses and individuals who donated mountains of food for Project Self-Sufficiency participants this November. Agency staff and volunteers gathered hundreds of frozen turkeys, along with cans of cranberry sauce, vegetables, bags of stuffing mix, dinner rolls, and freshly-baked pies, courtesy of the youth group of the First Presbyterian Church of Newton.
“The generosity of our friends and neighbors towards Project Self-Sufficiency participants is deeply appreciated during the holiday season,” commented Deborah Berry-Toon, Executive Director of Project Self-Sufficiency. “We have a lot to be thankful for this year.”
