Partnership Shines Light on the Power of Community During Dark Times
FLEMINGTON, N.J., November 16, 2020 – The Flemington Area Food Pantry, serving Hunterdon County, N.J., celebrated and unveiled their brand new solar array installation with a ribbon cutting today at 10:00am at the Flemington Area Food Pantry, 151 Route 31 North, Flemington, New Jersey.
This project was made possible by a collaborative donation effort amongst notable solar industry leaders and community volunteers, each supplying their individual components.
Among all of the parties who contributed to make the installation a reality, the pantry has one in particular to thank– North Hunterdon High School student, Evan Kuster.
“As a volunteer at the Food Pantry, I was aware that they had a significant electricity expense for their refrigerators and freezers and thought that solar energy could save their budget,” shared Kuster, North Hunterdon High School student, Class of 2022. “My dad works at a solar energy development company called Merit SI, and he suggested we ask for donations to fund the system.”
