DAY OF SERVICE JANUARY 16, 2023

 

Mark your calendar for Day of Service
The NJSFWC Day of Service is on January 16, 2023.   The Day of Service honors the founding of the Federation, and this year’s event will coincide with the National Day of Service and align our efforts with all organizations and individuals coming together on that day to address needs in their communities.

The charity is the Community Foodbank of New Jersey, an organization with more than 800 local community partners distributing needed food items to food pantries, soup kitchens, child and senior feeding centers, emergency shelters, and mobile pantries. The Day of Service project is to supply food items for a variety of meal kits including Dinner-In-a-Bag, Snow-Day-Meal-Bag, Healthy-Lifestyle-Meal-Kit, and College-Meal-Kit.  These meal bags are designed by the Community Foodbank to hold specific food items, and lists of what those bags contain are being distributed to clubs through the District Chairs and DVPs. Clubs will collect the food items and then deliver them on the Day of Service to each District’s gathering location, where members will bag the items.

Community Foodbank will assign the local recipients of these meal kits, who will then pick them up on the Day of Service from each District location.  Any questions contact Mary Lou Bak at bak@njsfwc.org.
