Kings Super Markets Fund Great Swamp Watershed Association Education Programs

As part of an ongoing month-long celebration of Earth Month, Kings Super Markets, Inc. gave a $2,500 grant to Great Swamp Watershed Association to support environmental education projects.  Cheryl Good, Manager of Community Relations at Kings is seen presenting the check to David Budd, Chairman of the Watershed Association.

According to Good, Kings Super Markets, Inc., working with the Great Swamp Watershed Association "is a wonderful way for Kings to participate in Earth Month. Together we've been able to promote activities in and around the Great Swamp.  We're also proud to be able to present this grant to the Watershed Association in support of their environmental education
programs."  The watershed area covers 55 square miles in Morris and Somerset Counties.

Bonnie Gannon, Development Director at the Great Swamp Watershed Associations echoes Good's comments and adds:  "We've enjoyed working with King's and particularly appreciate their support through this grant.  Since only 42% of our expenses are covered by membership dues, we rely on grants like this to be able to continue promoting environmental health."

Great Swamp owes its survival to the remarkable efforts of the citizens of New Jersey, who continue to fight to protect this precious natural jewel. Celebrating its 20th Anniversary as a non-profit organization, the Watershed Association relies solely on membership and contributions to protect the continued health of the local environment; from drinking water, to flood control, to the existence of many species of plant and animal life.  If you're not already a member, become one today.  For more
