"Fair Time" special menu raises funds for NORWESCAP's Food Bank

When we heard about the Sussex County 4H club's annual food drive to benefit NORWESCAP's Food Bank we were happy to take the opportunity to support the community service efforts of these great young boys and girls. NORWESCAP is a community action partner in Sussex County. In addition to other programs and services NORWESCAP offers to our residents, the Food Bank helps local food pantries and assistance programs that are on the front lines of assisting a growing number of families at risk of hunger in our communities. Through the Food Bank, these organizations are able to help meet those needs.

During the 10 days of the Sussex County Fair, Yellow Cottage invited our customers to be part of the Food Drive effort purchasing a "Fair Time Lunch Special" off our customized menu. In recognition of our 4H livestock clubs, we offered a Beef, Pork, Chicken and Egg Salad lunch special which included chips and a gourmet Yellow Cottage cookie. We pledged to donate $1.00 for every special ordered from August 5th through the 14th.

No doubt our customers are some of the greatest folks around! With their participation, we proudly presented a check for $100.00 to the Rutgers Cooperative Extension 4H Director. This donation will be sent to the NORWESCAP Food Bank along with the non perishables and cash donations raised by the Sussex County 4H clubs.

We always feel blessed to be part of a community like Sussex County where tradition, community values and care for one another is part of the culture and practice of so many. Thank you to all our patrons for helping out with the Food Drive. We appreciate your business and friendship.
