Bring Dinner Home to Camden Street Elementary

Marketsmith Inc. Brings Dinner Home to

Camden Street Elementary in Newark, New Jersey

Parsippany, NJ --- As the holiday season rapidly approaches and we look forward to the joyous moments that come with it, it is also important to take a step back and think of those who are less fortunate. For the third year in a row, Parsippany based Marketsmith Inc., as part of their Global Citizens initiative, will host the Bring Dinner Home Thanksgiving dinner for the 600 families of Camden Street elementary school in Newark, New Jersey.

The families of Camden Street elementary live with a number of sobering statistics:

- 90% of Camden Street students are economically disadvantaged

- 80% of Newark households are single parent families

- 42% of students have disabilities

- 30% of children in Newark live below the poverty line

- The annual income for this community is $34,387 (US Census)

Marketsmith’s fundraising goal for Bring Dinner Home is $15,000 this year. The money donated will be used to provide 600 families in the community with grocery store gift cards to buy food for their households. Hunger threatens their health, their futures and their lives. We may not be able to end poverty but we can extend a hand to our struggling neighbors and give them a fighting chance.

Marketsmith is working with a number of companies in the New Jersey area for additional corporate support. The Community Foundation of New Jersey is assisting in collecting tax-deductible donations, which can be made by simply visiting www.camdenstreetbringdinnerhome.com.
