Community Involvement
We recognize that our community contributes to many of our successes, and we do not let that go unreciprocated.
Supporting local, community-based organizations where our employees live, work and volunteer is central to our mission as a corporation. In addition to making philanthropic contributions, we also regularly participate in community events in and around Morris County. We are proud that our employees value the importance of being involved – both independently and as members of the CMK Select team – serving as board members, event planners and volunteers for a variety of organizations.

To help feed local families, our team is committed to is partnering with the Community FoodBank of New Jersey (CFBNJ), the largest anti-hunger and anti-poverty organization in New Jersey. CFBNJ has provided New Jersey residents with food, help and hope for more than 45 years.
