GOOD DEEDS
WorldWater & Power Corp., developers of proprietary high-powered solar technology, sent its trailer-mounted, solar-powered electrical water pumping and purification system to help the relief efforts for hurricane victims in the devastated Gulf Coast area.
The cost to donate the unit is being shared by WorldWater and NAI Global, an international commercial real estate service firm based in Princeton.
The unit was sent to Waveland, Miss. The Mobile MaxPure, capable of delivering purified water and generating electricity for lighting and other power requirements, is a portable "power utility" that can be moved from critical point to point and can begin delivering water and power in minutes after arrival at site.
CEO Quentin T. Kelley of WorldWater and CEO Gerald C. Finn of NAI Global were able to establish contact with the governor of Mississippi and his staff to locate an appropriate destination for the unit.
Waveland Mayor Tommy Longo reports that refugees and relief workers are living in tents and trailers without clean drinking water and that several people have died in recent weeks from contaminated water in this hard-hit community.
The Church & Dwight Employee Giving Fund Inc. announced that it will contribute about $285,000 in cash to charitable organizations in New Jersey, Pennsylvania and the Gulf Coast region. The company already has donated $70,000 in cash and roughly $1 million of Arm & Hammer products to the American Red Cross, The Salvation Army, Second Harvest and other charitable organizations working in areas affected by hurricanes Katrina and Rita.
The Employee Giving Fund is a workplace fund established earlier this year to meet the desires of employees to assist those that are less fortunate and to actively support and participate in the good works of not-for-profit organizations. The company matches employee contributions to the fund dollar-for-dollar.
Of the more than 50 different organizations that will receive donations, local Princeton-area charities to benefit are the National Alliance for Autism Research, Princeton HealthCare System Foundation, Princeton Warriors USA, The Princeton Family YMCA, Corner House Foundation, The Princeton Festival, The Crisis Ministry of Princeton and Trenton, Housing Initiatives of Princeton, and Trenton Children’s Chorus.
Dress for Success, which provides suits to low-income women entering the workforce, received more than 200 suits from a drive sponsored by Roman Jewelers’ Flemington store. Each guest who donated a suit received a $100 certificate to be used toward a later purchase and enjoyed a special 20 percent discount on jewelry, watches and gifts that evening.
Dress for Success Morris County provided suits for 600 women last year, and it expects to surpass that number this year. Recipients must be referred by an agency or house of worship, and may return in six to eight months to select another suit for a different season.
