Support the Harold & Frances Werner Food Drive

My father, Harold Werner, was the most kind and generous man I have ever known. He would go out of his way to help others, regardless of the situation. Regularly, he would donate to a number of charities in order to help satiate his desire to give. My mother, Frances, was always there to support him and was also philanthropic in her own way. I'm beyond lucky to have had them as role models and even more so as a parents. In order to carry on their spirit and to honor their memory, we're having The 6th Annual “Harold & Frances Werner Thanksgiving Food Drive." The purpose of the drive is to help the less fortunate in our area during this holiday season and throughout the year.

I live my life everyday to be half the man he ever was and honor their memories. This is one small way I can move toward that goal. A goal I know that would have made both of them proud. For the fundraiser, there are a few different ways to assist the less fortunate: 1) Monetary donations. Make monetary donations via GoFundMe. I will match every dollar donated, up to $5,000, with my own money. My goal is to reach $10,000 with the matching funds in order to buy food for those in need. All food purchased will be non-perishable and donated to The Father English Community Center in the Paterson area, where my company is located. 2) Donate food directly. There is a box set up at my office, EverClear Pools & Spas, located at 144-146 Rossiter Ave, Paterson. There will be staff there weekdays from 8:00 -4:00. Non-perishable items only please.

My parents were amazing people, and I can think of no better way than this to honor their memory. Please consider donating. No amount is too small, and it would mean the world to me and those receiving the benefit of your gift. THANK YOU!!!
