Hello 08037! Can you believe it’s that time of year again – a new school year and ALL things Fall? I definitely can’t, but here we are! I am excited for you to check out our Fall edition magazine dedicated to the lifestyle and community of Hammonton.
When Lorenzo and Mingui Garcia began their Tacos Al Carbon food truck in 1998, it was essentially only supposed to be a five-year business plan until their youngest child began school. Fast forward 25 years later, yes 25 years later! Not only is the Tacos Al Carbon food truck still in operation, their three children – Lorenzo A., Adriana and Joanna – are all grown up. Each have a role in the success of the business their parents started oh so many years ago. “It’s a big family business,” Mingui explained.” Learn more about their journey on page 5.
After you fill your bellies with tacos, quench your thirst at Three 3’s Brewing Company. Just outside Downtown Hammonton and 13th Street near Route 55, the brewery “aims to have something for everyone.” Established in 2016, the business has been doing its part to make the brewery experience anything but typical. Since opening, owner Mike Geller has been overwhelmed with how supportive the community has been. Get your quench on page 8.
It’s hard not to feel the rich, vibrant Hispanic culture in Hammonton whether it’s through visuals, movements or taste, the community celebrates the culture in so many different ways especially in September and October. Hammonton offered a wide variety of events to celebrate. Check out the visuals, movements and tastes on page 13.
We round this issue with a feel-good story. Have you heard of the Women’s Civic Club of Hammonton? A lot of what they do is behind the scenes. It’s what they do that can warm anyone’s heart from providing those in need with hot meals and accessories during the holiday season to students in need of a dress or a tux during prom season. The organization began in 1908, which marks 115 years of servicing the community. Learn all about the club’s good deeds on page 17.
Also check out our Hammonton Happenings for future community events on page 19. All of this and more awaits on the pages ahead! Enjoy!
