The Marisa Tufaro Foundation is appreciative beyond words to Charlie Tomaro and Hands of Hope for the Community for designating our nonprofit as the honoree of its third annual Tee Off Against Hunger, held Sunday at TopGolf in Edison.

The event raised more than $50,000 for Hands of Hope for the Community, whose outstanding board embodies community service through its tireless efforts and selflessness.

The exemplary all-volunteer organization has set a standard of excellence to which all nonprofits, including The Marisa Tufaro Foundation, can aspire.

We are blessed to enjoy an outstanding partnership through friendship and mutual support with Hands of Hope for the Community, which for more than three decades has annually assisted tens of thousands of Middlesex County residents facing hunger, providing nutritious food and support services.

Please join us in congratulating Hands of Hope for the Community on conducting another successful fundraiser and in thanking the nonprofit for all it does to assist neighbors in need.
