Friends and supporters of Fisherman’s Mark gathered to celebrate the people that made a difference for people in need in Lambertville. The vibrant food pantry and social services organization took a moment to recognize the people that have made a difference. David Hansel was recognized for strengthening the partnership between Fisherman’s Mark and the New Hope charity New Hope Helping, including arranging a donation toward the purchase and renovation of the Fisherman’s Mark building.

One of David’s most special efforts came if the form of playing the part of Santa at the annual toy gifting event for families in need. His favorite part was to see the eyes of young children light up when they were able to choose gifts and tell Santa all the things they wanted for their families for Christmas.

New Hope Helping celebrates 76 years of serving the people though enriching events including The New Hope Auto Show, New Hope Concerts, New Hope Tennis Tournament and The Stephen Buck/Hardy Bush Memorial Golf Tournament.
