Food Architects is the primary caterer of the Oldwick Manor, and due to COVID19, they have lost 100% of their business. So Food Architects have started a Go Fund Me Page in which they are using the funds to both feed the needy and keep their employees on the payroll. Their plan has been featured in NJ.com and the Star Ledger.
