Montclair’s Toni’s Kitchen Receives $111K Matching Grant Donation From The Silver Family Foundation

Toni’s Kitchen received a matching funds donation of $111,291.50 from The Silver Family Foundation/The Bravitas Group Inc., just in time for Thanksgiving.

In recent weeks, Toni’s Kitchen has launched a community-wide food drive and fundraiser and the community has risen to the occasion, with overwhelming support. In response, Bob and Rhonda Silver, who have been longtime supporters of the work of Toni’s Kitchen, launched a five-day matching gift initiative on Friday, November 20 to raise funds for food relief programs at Toni’s Kitchen.

Nearly 500 donors gave a total of $111,291.50. Then days later, the Silver Family Foundation/The Bravitas Group arrived with a huge check matching these donations dollar-for-dollar.

A total of $222,583 in funds were raised.
