Princeton Restaurant Group Raises $18K For Local Organizations

PRINCETON, NJ —Princeton-based JM Group raised $18,000 in recent months to support two local organizations, Mercer Street Friends Food Bank and YWCA Princeton’s Breast Cancer Resource Center.

The group organized two events to help raise funds for the community — the annual meal drive and a week-long “takeout” version of the annual Pink Pearl Night.

"Mercer Street Friends remains grateful to Jack Morrison and the JM Group for so many years of support, particularly this past year,” said Bernie Flynn, CEO, Mercer Street Friends.

“The pandemic shined a light on the basic needs of our neighbors. Like they always do, Jack and the JM Group responded to the calls for help by offering financial support to the Mercer Street Friends Food Bank, which in turn, provided assistance in feeding students, individuals and families in Trenton and Mercer County."

JM Group owns Witherspoon Grill, Blue Point Grill, Kristine's, Nassau Street Seafood & Produce Company, and the popular Princeton Farmer’s Market.

In a statement, the group said they “appreciate” the support “received from event sponsors Borden Perlman Insurance, Callaway Henderson Sotheby’s, and NJM Insurance Group.”
