“The food drive is such a tremendous opportunity to assist New Jerseyans in need. It’s wonderful to be part of such a giving community and my heart is full after such an amazing result this year,” said Nicole DeRosa, CPA, MAcc, senior tax manager at Wiss and chairperson of the NJCPA Emerging Leaders Council, an appointed leadership group that hosted the food drive.
“We are extremely appreciative of our members’ generosity and ability to volunteer their time and resources to this worthy cause. With COVID-19 challenges and other hardships this time of year, the food drive is particularly important,” added Ralph Albert Thomas, CPA (DC), CGMA, CEO and executive director at the NJCPA.
