The Right Time And The Right Opportunity For Service
“It was the right time and the right opportunity for service,” explains David N. Lambert, a Founding Partner and Wealth Advisor at Artisan Wealth Management, LLC, headquartered in Lebanon, New Jersey.  Mr. Lambert shares the story about why he decided to get involved with America’s Grow-A-Row more than seven years ago.  Mr. Lambert came to learn of this service project through his church and word of mouth in his local community.  “It provided me with an opportunity for true hands-on service in a manner in which I could share the experience with my wife, Aleta, and our two daughters, Jennifer and Amanda.  It is not often that you come across an opportunity to give back that can also be an educational experience for the whole family.  I was searching for something beyond just writing a check.  In America’s Grow-A-Row, I found what I was looking for.”  Whether it is picking corn or making apple sauce, the Lambert family definitely invests a great deal of time and energy in our ongoing service mission.

Over the years, as America’s Grow-A-Row has expanded, so has Mr. Lambert’s involvement in this unique opportunity to impact our local community. Last year, he sat down with his business partner, Edward R. Collins, to discuss how Artisan Wealth Management, LLC could begin giving back to the community.  “Dave and I are both personally involved in a number of charitable initiatives,” Mr. Collins explains.  “We sat down and talked about how our company could begin to develop a social footprint in Hunterdon County as well.  America’s Grow-A-Row was local.  Dave and his family had a great deal of experience with it, and it would provide our firm with an excellent opportunity to give back to the community in which we have built our business.”

Artisan Wealth Management, LLC was the sponsor of the First Annual Blue Jean Bash benefiting America’s Grow-A-Row on March 20th, 2010.  “We look forward to continuing our efforts to benefit America’s Grow-A-Row,” says Mr. Lambert.  “We are committed both in terms of sweat equity and dollars to helping them make a difference in our community.”

Families and Individuals

Many thanks to the families that provide generous donations to our efforts to feed the hungry. Families and volunteers are at the core of our mission, and without their financial support and “sweat equity” we could not do what we do. You are the best!

Corporate Donors and Foundations

We sincerely thank our corporate donors and foundations who support this important work. We recognize that you have difficult choices to make amongst many worthy organizations and we are grateful that you choose to support America’s Grow-a-Row.

Faith-Based Organizations

This program began as a mission project of the Bethlehem Presbyterian Church. While it has grown beyond that, we never forget our “roots” and are deeply grateful to BPC and all of the faith-based organizations – of all different faiths – that provide funding, volunteers, prayers, and moral support for this work.
