A non-profit organization located in Lawrenceville, HomeFront provides emergency shelter and support services to help Mercer County homeless families get back on their feet. Each year, the organization strives to meet its goal of providing Thanksgiving meals to over 1,800 homeless families in the area. For over a month, CMA employees collected and donated canned goods and other non-perishable items for the drive. 

“Year after year, our staff joins together to help local families in need for Thanksgiving,” said Jeffrey Barnhart, President and CEO of CMA. “We hope these baskets will brighten up their holiday.”

With overwhelming participation, the firm collected over three dozen items on Patrick’s wish list, such as magazines and his favorite foods. Klebaur is a graduate of the Lackland Air Force Base in San Antonio, Texas. He is on a six month tour of Duty in Afghanistan.
