RED BANK, NJ -- November 05, 2025 -- The holidays are about sharing gratitude — and this year, SMG Holdings is kicking off its annual Season of Giving campaign with a heartfelt effort to help local families in need.

A Season of Gratitude in Action


This Thanksgiving Food Drive marks the first event of SMG’s 2025 Season of Giving, a series of community outreach efforts designed to spread love, gratitude, and joy throughout the holiday season.

Employees, clients, and local businesses are invited to take part by donating non-perishable items to complete Thanksgiving meal kits for families supported by Fulfill. SMG will round out each kit with donations of frozen turkeys to ensure every family can enjoy a full and festive meal.

Two Organizations, One Shared Mission


Fulfill celebrated its 40th anniversary last year — four decades of feeding and uplifting families across New Jersey.

SMG, a woman-owned facilities management firm, is also approaching a major milestone: its 30th anniversary in 2026, marking three decades of delivering reliable, data-driven maintenance solutions nationwide.


“Fulfill’s legacy of compassion, service, and excellence mirrors our own,” said Shannon Prato, Founder and Executive Chair at SMG Holdings LLC.
 "We share a commitment to making an impact for those who rely on us — whether that’s our clients or our communities. As we approach celebrating 30 years, we’re filled with gratitude to our clients who have been on this journey with us and trust us for business continuity. We’re dedicated to paying it forward with Fulfill to help New Jersey families celebrate Thanksgiving with dignity and abundance.”

 


   

How to Get Involved


The food drive runs through November 21, 2025, with all collected items delivered to Fulfill ahead of Thanksgiving week. SMG encourages local businesses, clients, and community members to join in — by contributing meal kit donations or simply spreading the word.
