Metuchen is competing with over 700 participating non-profits across the country in USA Today Network's "A Community Thrives" challenge.

Every dollar we raise between now and August 13 will go towards supporting downtown Metuchen businesses. Outdoor dining has helped businesses thrive in recent years. We'll add more retractable awnings, infrared heaters, planters, metal partitions with laser cut logos, and table and chair sets.

MDA Member and business owner Joanne Cruz in this quick video shows just some of the ways that MDA grants have helped downtown businesses.

So please help spread the word and tell everyone you know to start giving today. Visit the leader board at A Community Thrives and cheer on MDA! With your help we'll compete for bonus challenge grants each week and operating grants up to $100,000.
