Center for Food Action—Food Bank Donations
Please search your hearts and your
cupboards to help the needy. There
are many problems in the world that
we can not solve, but hunger in our
own community is not one of them!
We can stamp out hunger in Bergen
County if we all pitch in and do our
part. Please consider contributing food
to the Center for Food Action. You can
put food donations in the large container near the steps in the foyer. We
thank you and your neighbors will
thank you also.
