Special thanks to Trystien and the rest of the team for keeping the planters along Moe’s Way Riverwalk alive and well!

ThanQ to Trystien for keeping all of Downtown Sharon’s plants watered and in tip-top shape all summer long! Every other day, Trystien travels throughout downtown Sharon to water the plants - including the planters along Moe’s Way Riverwalk and our flowers along the front of the restaurant!
If you see the green cart out and about, be sure to thank this generous crew for supporting all neighboring businesses downtown with their kind gesture!

A Decade of Dedication: Help Us Pave the Way to the Next 10!
As the Meszaros Charitable Board of Directors gears up for our 10th-Anniversary FUNd Feast Celebration on August 13, 2026, we are looking to fill Moe's Way Riverwalk with the names of as many "Friends of Moe" as possible!
We invite you to participate in our Buy-a-Brick fundraiser - a special section of customized bricks located around the flagpoles that are engraved with custom wording, serving as a special way to celebrate your family, as a memorial, or to honor someone or something.
Our goal is to reach 100 bricks before we celebrate the big 1-0 in August!
If you are interested in adding one of these limited quantity engraved bricks, please fill out the form on our website and make payment of $100 per custom brick to the Meszaros Charitable Fund:

Cookie bakers needed! 🍪
If you've joined us for any of our FUNd Feast celebrations, then you know just how big of a splash our Cookie Table makes each and every summer. But, did you know that every single cookie on the display is handmade and donated by a volunteer? It's true (and the reason why they're so darn tasty - they're full of love! 🩷)
We're looking for bakers interested in donating cookies for our 10th-Anniversary FUNd Feast Cookie Table on August 13, 2026. We need a lot of cookies, so no donation is too small!
If you'd be interested in baking and donating, please message us! Thank you in advance for your generosity!

Last summer, the Meszaros Charitable Fund celebrated its inaugural year of the New Business Award by presenting three local entrepreneurs with funding to further their entrepreneurial endeavors.
Jess makes scents was one of our 2025 recipients, and this woman-owned company has been on fire - just like the flames in their handmade candles! 🕯️
"I felt extremely lucky to be included [in the New Business Award program] last year and I appreciate everything you do for small businesses," said Jess Makes Scents owner, Jess. "My experience was fantastic and I wouldn't have changed a thing. [The award] helped change the way I streamline products and has saved so much time with the proper equipment!"

Last summer, the Meszaros Charitable Fund celebrated its inaugural year of the New Business Award by presenting three local entrepreneurs with funding to further their entrepreneurial endeavors.
Enforce MG was one of our 2025 recipients. This website design and digital marketing company shifts its focus away from "cookie cutter solutions," and toward "strategy, speed, and getting things right from the very beginning."
When asked about his experience in applying for and receiving the 2025 New Business Award, EnforceMG Owner & CEO, Keegan Widmyer, said, "Thank you for supporting local businesses! The award was instrumental to my work this year, allowing me to fund a new computer to allow me to work more efficiently when abroad, and to go to nearly a dozen business events all around Pennsylvania and Ohio to get myself out there!"
Best wishes to EnforceMG for its continued success!
