MORRISTOWN, NJ – Nov. 2, 2021 – For the 16th consecutive year, global law firm Greenberg Traurig, LLP is supporting Family Promise of Morris County (FPMC), a non-sectarian, nonprofit organization dedicated to ending the crisis of homelessness faced by Morris County families. This year, in lieu of the annual dinner the firm has sponsored for more than 15 years, FPMC will host and Greenberg Traurig will be the Naming Sponsor of the first-ever Family Promise Homebound Hustle 5K.
“It is an honor to continue our support of FPMC, an organization that makes a real difference in the lives of many New Jersey residents. The past year and a half has been notably challenging for individuals who are ALICE (Asset Limited, Income Constrained, Employed) and homeless,” New Jersey Shareholder Barry J. Schindler, co-chair of Greenberg Traurig’s Global Patent Prosecution Group, said. “I am proud that Greenberg Traurig has continued its support of those who are experiencing tribulations with the housing crisis in order to have access to safe housing, food, and cleaning supplies.”
“Partnering with Greenberg Traurig for the last 16 years has allowed Family Promise of Morris County to grow the scope of its programs and services, and populations served,” Joann Bjornson LSW, Chief Executive Officer of FPMC, said. “Greenberg Traurig has stood by our side as we serve those in need in Morris County. Whether through pro bono work, financial contributions, volunteer time, or otherwise, they have always been a true partner and we thank them for their friendship.”
FMPC’s mission is to mobilize community resources and people to end the crisis of homelessness and housing instability faced by families and individuals by providing a continuum or services leading to independence, according to the FPMC website. Most recently, FPMC has focused on helping families overcome the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic. Whether they are facing possible evictions or need new supplies to return to school either in person or remotely, FPMC pulls the resources together to address their needs.
