A huge thank you to Tom Nastasi of Shoreline East Construction Corp and our friends at The Salad House of Westfield! WUF was honored to be named the recipient of last month’s Salad House Fuel Fund Initiative.

Through this program, The Salad House donates to a local charity chosen by their top-spending customer of the month, matching their exact spend. When Tom earned the top spot, he generously chose the Westfield United Fund.

Thank you, Tom, for thinking of us, and thank you to The Salad House for giving back to our community. This is what being a neighbor is all about.

Why does Scott Cassie give to WUF?

For Scott, longtime WUF supporter and former Board President, it comes back to seeing the work up close — and understanding how local agencies show up for neighbors across Westfield and Union County.

In our new 'Why I Give' series, we’re sharing personal reflections from the people who support WUF and believe in strengthening the local safety net.
