CFA to honor Stryker
at Savor.2019 Gala
The Center for Food Action, headquartered in Engle-
wood, announced two honorees who will receive CFA
Awards at the upcoming SAVOR.2019 food and wine event
in April. CFA Corporate Citizen Honoree, Stryker, was
chosen for this honor to show our appreciation of their
generosity. Over the years they have championed The
Weekend Snack Pack Program, hosted numerous food
drives and volunteered time and funds in support of CFA’s
mission to prevent hunger and homelessness in northern
New Jersey.
The Volunteers from the Community Presbyterian
Church in Ringwood will receive the CFA Hero award in
recognition of the support they have provided CFA for
more than two decades. Not only has the church donated
physical space for the CFA Ringwood Center, Pastor Frau-
mann and 12 dedicated volunteers have given their time
to ensure families in Passaic County have groceries and
other housing services when in need.
The honorees will be celebrated during CFA’s annual
fundraiser, SAVOR.2019, in April. The event showcases
30 restaurants and breweries from northern New Jersey.
The evening, sponsored by Oritani Bank and Stryker,
boasts a loyal following of northern New Jersey ‘foodies.’
