Westfield, NJ - Westfield locals and owners of 16 Prospect Wine Bar & Bistro have been honored for their generosity to the community.

The Boy Scouts of America, Patriots’ Path Council honored several local citizens at the annual Boy Scouts of America Union Lifetime Achievement Awards Dinner on June 8 including Christopher and Timothy Boyle.

"The event recognizes these six outstanding citizens for their community service, as evidenced by their leadership and interests within the Union County community, and for their embodiment of the values of the century old Scout Oath and Law in their personal and professional lives," the scouts stated in a release.

Christopher and Timothy Boyle have owned 16 Prospect Wine Bar & Bistro in Westfield since 2001. Along with having a passion for food, the brothers love giving back to the local community.

The culinary school graduates opened their Westfield restaurant on Sept. 6, 2001, five days before 9/11.

"Chris went to New York City to feed the rescue workers on scene," Timothy said.

But this wasn't the first time the brothers were charitable. 16 Prospect hosts annual benefits for Brendon’s Meadows Animal Rescue, The Center for Hope, Bonds of Courage which helps veterans and their families and St. Joseph’s Food Bank.
