Marna’s Pals, aka The Marna Pal Memorial Scholarship Fund, was founded in January of 2012 by Elizabeth Diaz and David Pal as a charitable organization that helps students whose families have been affected by cancer. This organization was names in honor of David’s mother, Marna, who passed away from Pancreatic Cancer in 2008, when David was a Freshman at Rutgers. This traumatic experience was only two years after David’s father, Thomas, passed away from cardiac complications. Having gone through a very challenging two years, David was fortunate to receive scholarships from Rutgers towards his education, and because of this assistance, David and Liz wanted to help more students in the same way.
Meals on Wheels of Mercer County
609-695-3483
Meals on Wheels programs serve homebound seniors who are over 60 in their communities. Meals on Wheels of Mercer County also serves a growing population of those under 60, who find themselves unable to cook or shop due to the onset of a debilitating disease, or another life changing situation that makes them homebound. This could be temporary, or for a longer term. Currently, this population represents 17% of who we serve, and is growing. They are “invisible” as our homebound seniors once were, and equally as vulnerable to food insecurity. Meals on Wheels of Mercer County is also unique in that we provide a significant number of subsidies for those who cannot afford the cost of our meals. We subsidize heavily in the City of Trenton, although homebound individuals on a fixed income are all our neighbors.
