Party With Purpose | Hoboken
Party With Purpose was founded after the terrorist attacks of September 11th. Just like millions across the country, founder Scott Delea knew he needed to do something bigger in his community. Scott had recently made Hoboken his home and, after getting involved in a tutoring volunteer opportunity, he wanted to continue his impact. Thus, Party With Purpose (PWP) was born. PWP is a 100% volunteer-run organization that supports local non-profits in the community financially through microgrants. Some of the beneficiaries provide resources such as tutoring programs, grief support for children, outdoor recreation programs, after-school activities, mental health support, and more. Since its inception, PWP has donated more than $1M to dozens of non-profits and the organization is just getting started. Click here to donate.

Meal Delivery Service Feast & Fettle Launches in Hudson County
This article is sponsored by Feast & Fettle.
There’s nothing like a delicious dinner at the end of a long day, and a new meal prep delivery service is changing that — which just launched in Hoboken + Jersey City, and Hudson County as a whole. Feast & Fettle officially launched in Hudson County, delivering fresh, chef-prepared meals straight to Hoboken, Jersey City, and beyond. With a rotating menu and locally sourced ingredients, Feast & Fettle keeps true to its name (and we’re loving it so far). Keep reading to learn more about this North Jersey meal prep service and how you can snag an exclusive offer below.
The Details
Feast & Fettle is a food delivery service with a rotating menu of chef-prepared meals. Every dish is made from scratch using fresh, locally sourced ingredients — and delivered to your door with no chopping, mixing, or sautéeing required.
The menu pretty much caters to every craving and dietary preference. From seared steaks and pasta dishes to vegan bowls and fresh seafood, Feast & Fettle has something for everyone (all of it good and good for you). Some of our favorites include the chicken pot pie, fettuccine with broccoli and cauliflower alfredo, roasted vegetables, and quinoa salad with vegan pesto. And, all meals are delivered FRESH (never frozen).
In addition to dinner entrees and sides, there's also a selection of breakfast, lunch, kids' items, and juices. Like we said: something for everyone.
How it Works
Feast & Fettle isn’t your average meal delivery service — and as of this week, it’s officially available to Hudson County residents. Members personalize their plans based on how many people are in the household and how many meals they want covered. Delivery is on your time, too. Once you choose your meal items for the week, you select the drop-off day. There’s no grocery shopping or cooking, or stressing out over what to make — just fresh food delivered like a gift once a week.
Feast & Fettle is a no-commitment meal delivery service, meaning you pay when you order and can cancel at any time.
Don’t forget, you can get 20% off your first week of meals with code HG20 until 2/14/25.
Feast & Fettle is now delivering to Bergen, Morris, Essex, and Passaic Counties as well as newly-launched Hudson County. For more info or to become a member, visit the site.
