RUMSON, NJ — This holiday season, the Salvation Army NJ Division is partnering with Celebrity Chef David Burke and his New Jersey restaurants in the fight against hunger.
Starting at 6 p.m. on Nov. 21, the Salvation Army Band will perform live holiday music outside the Red Horse by David Burke in Rumson. The free performance is open to the public, and neighbors and guests are encouraged to attend, sing along and make donations.
From Nov. 21 through Nov. 27, a percentage of proceeds will be donated to the Salvation Army NJ Division when customers purchase one or both of David Burke’s signature desserts (David Burke’s Dixie Lee Bakery to-go bag of cookies and David Burke’s Dixie Lee key lime pie).
Both desserts are available for purchase at the Red Horse by David Burke in Rumson.
“I have been a supporter of the Salvation Army New Jersey Division for a long time. They do the best work for our most vulnerable neighbors," Burke said. “We all have seen their volunteer bell ringers during the holidays, but much of their critical work goes unseen all year long."

"The list is long: emergency disaster assistance, addiction rehabilitation, food pantry/feeding programs and so much more," Burke continued. "But what has impressed me the most is the way they carry out all these critical services — with consistent boundless love. Please help me, help them. Donate generously to their mission this holiday season.”
The Salvation Army Band performing at the Red Horse consists of five musicians; Ron Waiksnoris (NJ Regional Resource Development Manager, Cornet), Major Carl Avery (Cornet), Major Brett DeMichael (Alto Horn), Nathan Power (NJ Divisional Music Director, Trombone) and Major Phil Ferreira (Tuba).
The band members are volunteering for a two-hour performance at the restaurant.
“The Salvation Army is thrilled to be partnering with legendary Chef David Burke and his New Jersey restaurants this November,” DeMichael said. “Thanksgiving is right around the corner and Chef Burke truly understands the immense need to help fight food insecurity across the state.”
“We thank him, his team, and the generous New Jerseyans who visit his restaurants as their help will ensure that no one goes hungry this Thanksgiving and beyond,” DeMichael continued.
The Salvation Army Band’s performance will take place on Nov. 21 from 6-8 p.m. outside the Red Horse by David Burke.
