Connell
Foley Donates Thanksgiving Turkeys to Food Banks
in
Hudson, Essex,
Monmouth
and
Camden County
ROSELAND N.J./November 18, 2011 ---
As part of its community outreach program,
Connell Foley LLP is donating $5,000 dollars to
The Community FoodBank of New Jersey. The donation will provide Thanksgiving turkeys
for over 300 families in
New Jersey
counties where Connell Foley has offices. The communities of Newark, Jersey City, Asbury Park
and Camden will each receive 75 Thanksgiving
turkeys for distribution to needy families.
The number of turkeys has special significance for
Connell Foley as the firm is proudly marking its 75th
anniversary this year.
“Everyone knows that for many people, times remain
difficult. This donation seemed a fitting demonstrable
action we could take as a firm to show our commitment to
helping others less fortunate and struggling to put food on
the table,” stated Connell Foley Managing Partner Michael
X. McBride.
Connell Foley wanted to support the communities in which it
works. Founded
in 1936, the firm has deep roots in Essex County,
with its first office in
Newark. As the firm grew, Connell Foley moved to its current
headquarters in Roseland.
The firm also has New Jersey
offices in Jersey City, Cherry Hill and
Spring
Lake as well as offices in New York City and
Philadelphia.

“Connell
Foley has much to be thankful for,” added McBride. “Despite
the economic environment, we have been able to expand our
practice across the Tri-State area. Given our good fortune, it would be unconscionable to
not support these communities. We hope our donation spurs
other businesses to help us provide a better Thanksgiving
for needy families throughout
New Jersey.”
