During April of 2007, extreme, if not dangerous flooding conditions invaded Central New Jersey, requiring immediate emergency response at all levels of upper-tier disaster relief agencies. Merri-Makers, New Jersey’s pre-eminent caterer for more than 30 years, was called upon by the American Red Cross to provide over 60,000 meals over a ten-day period to those misfortunate victims of the flooding.
Hence, the Culinary Response Team (CRT) was born, representing Merri-Maker’s commitment to the communities throughout the region.
Subsequently, The American Red Cross and Merri-Makers have entered into a Memorandum of Understanding, whereupon the Merri-Makers Culinary Response Team will provide the necessary nutritional support aspects of the ARC in its efforts to care for American’s suffering from the ravages of man-made and natural disasters. The CRT remains at-the-ready to assist any business or government agency at the appropriate moment.
