Donate Supplies to Help Hopatcong NJ at Glasgow Park Sunday from 2- 5 pm!

Hopatcong's school teachers have banded together to help their students in this storm devasted community in North Jersey.  Hopatcong didn't have the floods seen at the shore, but Sandy delivered a descimating blow just the same.  Trees crashed down on homes, in streets, and through power lines.  It's estimated that 70 to 100 utility poles were toppled leaving the town of 5,000 without electricity since Monday.  Most Hopatcong homes require electricity to pump water from wells, etc.  The lack of power has been doubling frustrating for famlies and especially the area's children.

While power is slowing being restored to the region, the district's teachers have been working directly with families to help their students manage in this crisis.  But, the need is still great and you can help make a difference.  We'll be loading a relief truck at Glasgow Park, today from 2-5 pm.  If you can donate water, kid-friendly foods, diapers (adult or child) personal hygiene products, toilet paper, small toys, etc. please come our way and help us fill all 17 feet!

And GIANT THANK YOU to Costco for generously donating TWO PALLETS OF BOTTLED WATER!
