A mother and son from Union County were honored for a charity they started to help those who are grieving.

Marylyn Feliciano and her 6-year-old son Tyler started “Tyler’s Project” after Marylyn’s husband and Tyler’s father died unexpectedly. The project encourages other to do charitable acts as a way of coping with tragedy.

The Felicianos were honored by the Union Township mayor for their fundraising for mental health and for helping to get hot meals to the homeless.
