Back to School Drive
Our Back-to-School Drive for 2024 was a raging success thanks to the amazing community we have surrounding us! Donations came pouring in from all across America via our Amazon wish list as well as through the collaborative efforts of local businesses, organizations, and individuals alike.
Over 400 youth in foster care were able to start their school year with a new backpack full of the necessary items that would allow them to feel confident and able to learn and grow.
We extend our heartfelt thanks to: Verona Girl Scouts, Church Alive, Project Readiness, St. Mary & St. Mercurius Church, ALMS, Inc., Nespresso, Local ILA 1233, Maher Terminals, Rutgers RCTLJ, The Trade Desk, Jersey Cares, and St. Michael's School.
A special thanks to the staff and students of Rutgers CARES for helping to sort all of the amazing donations!
