Unity Bank Car Show Raises $5,600 for Family Promise

CLINTON, N.J. (July 15, 2014) – Unity Bank recently donated $5,600 to Family Promise of Hunterdon County and Family Promise of Warren County, the proceeds from the 8th Annual Cruisin’ Bob's Classic Car Show. The funds were raised through sponsorships, food sales and registration fees to compete in the classic car competition.

“The community and classic car owners throughout New Jersey, New York and Pennsylvania came out to support this great event for Family Promise,” said Unity Bank President & CEO James A. Hughes. “As a community bank, we are privileged to partner with Family Promise on this event and others as well. Our employees take a special interest in being part of the car show and supporting Family Promise’s important outreach programs.”

Family Promise of Hunterdon County and Family Promise of Warren County provide services to both help overcome and prevent homelessness through the Interfaith Hospitality Network (IHN) – a network of congregations and volunteers who provide overnight/weekend shelter, home-cooked meals, and companionship to families who enter the program. Comprehensive case management, licensed counseling services and a donation program are also available.

The car show was a true community effort thanks to local business sponsorships, which helped make the show a success. Doctor D. Entertainment provided music and the Knights of Columbus cooked food.
