Fruit Sale Rings in The Holidays

Madison Music Association launches its annual fruit sale fundraiser.

This is the major fundraiser for the MMA, which supports all the music programs in grades K – 12 in the Madison Public Schools. Fresh Florida citrus, featuring grapefruit and oranges, are again for sale.

New this year is online ordering. Ordering is easier than ever: go to the website
http://freshfruitorder.org/Orders/MMAFruitSale, decide what to purchase, click and done.

Arrangements can also be made to have fruit shipped to a far away address or have distant relatives place orders directly on the site for themselves. For the first time, fruit baskets can be sent to friends,families, employees, etc. No matter how you order, The Madison Music Association comes out the winner!

Want to help others in need? For three years the Madison Music Association has added the option to purchase cartons of oranges for donation to a number of Morris County agencies, including the Community Soup Kitchen of Morristown, Madison Day Care, Dover Day Care, Eric Johnson House, The Interfaith Food Pantry, Homeless Solutions, and the Front Porch and Trinity Church soup kitchen in Dover. Last year, the response was so great that approximately 3,000 oranges were donated, providing welcome nourishment in mid-winter. Information on how to order and donate is on the website.

For further information on ordering, contact Margaret Wong at 973-769-3269 or  mmafruits@gmail.com.
