Family Promise is honored to join with two of New Jersey’s most highly acclaimed restaurants, Chef Michael White’s Due Mari in New Brunswick and Due Terre in Bernardsville, to co-sponsor “Fight Family Homelessness Month.” Throughout November, the restaurants will donate a portion of their proceeds to Family Promise in support of homeless and at-risk families.

Karen Olson, President and Founder of Family Promise, said, “We are so gratified that Due Mari and Due Terre are helping us address this critical issue. The fact that Michael White has committed his time, resources and reputation in support of Family Promise will make a huge difference to families in crisis.”

The Altamarea Group is owned by partners Ahmass Fakahany and Chef Michael White and is comprised of four Manhattan restaurants, Alto (2005), Convivio (2008), Marea (2009) and Osteria Morini (2010), and two New Jersey restaurants, Due Terre (2007) and Due Mari (2008). Upcoming projects include Ai Fiori at The Setai Fifth Avenue in New York City and a consulting partnership with foodservice group OTG for Cotto in the new LaGuardia Terminal as well as their first international project, slated for Spring 2011 in Hong Kong. The Altamarea Group values the unrelenting pursuit of excellence in food and beverage, constantly striving to achieve the highest level of client satisfaction.

“My family has always been my foundation for everything I’ve done in my life, and I’m incredibly lucky to be in a position to help other families in need,” said Chef White. “The Altamarea Group is thrilled to align with an organization that is helping such an important cause in a community that means a lot to us.”
