Hometown Heroes
During the COVID-19 crisis of 2020, many West Windsor public
and private groups came together to help our community.
Today, Mayor Marathe and the Township Council would like to publicly thank:
Essential Supply Donation Champions
Thank you for your donations!
Covid-19 showed us how dependent we are on each other for the things we take for granted. Simple supplies critical for survival became scarce.
The residents and organizations of West Windsor stepped up when it mattered. They donated Personal Protective Equipment like masks, gowns and shields for our Police, Fire and Emergency personnel and essential workers. They donated food and money to feed seniors, students who were shut out from food assistance programs when schools were closed, and others in need.
