Montclair Restaurant Serves Lunch To People On Line At Food Pantry

MONTCLAIR, NJ -- Those who say there's "no such thing as a free lunch" should talk to the folks at Egan & Sons.

On Thursday, the Human Needs Food Pantry of Montclair gave a big shout out to the restaurant for providing lunch and cold drinks to everyone on line for food at the pantry.

Along with chef, Tess Tripodi, owner Sharon Egan and office manager Maryellen Stadtlander were on the scene with delicious sandwiches, lemonade and snacks, the pantry reported on social media.

"They actually have an item on the Egan's menu, 'Donate a Meal,'" the pantry pointed out. "It's just $10 and they collect the money and purchase meals for people in need! THAT'S a business that cares about the community!"

The pantry continued:

"There is an ancient proverb that says, 'A good neighbor is a found treasure,' and Sharon Egan certainly lives up to that. This is not the first time she has generously provided food and drinks to our clients. THANK YOU to Sharon Egan and all of her staff for being so kind to people in need! We ask that you support their restaurant as they have always supported us."
