Chef Anthony’s Italian Market is very proud to support Mommy Sue’s Children, a grass roots effort to educate and empower underprivileged children in Haiti. Chef Anthony’s is active in supporting many local charities but we also feel a moral obligation to help those in need without regard to where they live. As a member of the Concordville-Chadds Ford Rotary, it was distinct privilege to meet Sue Mardinly, the founder of Mommy Sue’s Children.

The catastrophic earthquake of 2010 is only the latest--and worst--natural disaster to devastate the nation of Haiti. Up until the quake, the hurricane season of 2008 was the cruelest natural disaster ever experienced in Haiti. Four storms--Fay, Gustav, Hanna, and Ike--dumped heavy rains on the impoverished nation.

Even though five years have passed since the earthquake in 2010, the impoverished children of Haiti continue to suffer. Education in Haiti is only accessible to the wealthy few and Mommy Sue has set out to help as many children as she can with support from local Rotary Clubs, Rotary International and from anyone who cares about education.

My wife Amy (Chair of the Biology Department at Swarthmore College) and I, along with our entire team at Chef Anthony’s Italian Market are committed to doing all that we can to help these wonderful deserving children.

In many places in the US there are poor schools, but in Haiti there are no schools for the majority of the poor children and where there are schools, they are, in most cases, housed in primitive structures without clean water, food or teachers for that matter.

We at Chef Anthony’s are confident that with the help of Rotary, our customers, and our vendors, that we can bring hope to Mommy Sue’s Children. Children hold the key to the future and as the world gets smaller, it’s our duty as citizen of the world to help all those in need.

We invite you to help Chef Anthony’s Italian Market raise money for Mommy Sue’s Children! Join us on October 14th, 2015 from 7-9PM at the store for hors-d'oeuvre and sweets as we kick off our Mommy Sue’s Children campaign. Tickets are $35 and 100% of the proceeds will go to Mommy Sue’s Children.

Chef Anthony’s will collect for Mommy Sue’s Children all year long with an in store collection box located by the registers. Also on weekends when Chef Anthony is sampling food at the Chef Table, we ask that you think of these wonderful children as you enjoy our food, and leave a donation.
