In the run-up to the Holiday season 2013, Tilcon employees collected food, clothing, toys and pet supplies for three great local causes.
In total over 700lbs of food was collected and donated to the Morris County Interfaith Food Pantry, a non-profit organization that Tilcon has supported for the last several years. The Pantry provides food and nutrition advice to deserving residents of Morris County, NJ.
Employees also donated clothing and toys to 590 children of service members from Earle Naval Base and US Coast Guard personnel stationed in Bayonne,NJ. This donation was coordinated by Tilcon's Chris Aaron a longtime member of the Central Jersey Council of the Navy League of the United States, who will this year serve as the Central Jersey Council's President. Chris has coordinated holiday donations for Coast Guard children for many years. All remaining toys collected were donated to a local Woman's Shelter.
Finally, we collected pet toys, treats, food and blankets for Hi Tor Animal Care Center in Pomona, NY, a shelter which provides a loving temporary home to lost and abandoned animals.
Thank you to all Tilcon employees and their families who gave generously to support others over the Holiday season.
