Rescheduled! Sunday Afternoon Young Family Event at Kunkel Park!
Sunday, AUGUST 8 at 4pm
 
Help Us Organize Gifts for Children at The Father Center!
Thunderstorms forced us to postpone our event last weekend, but we have a NEW date! We're partnering with First Presbyterian Church of Trenton to create gift packages for children whose dads are part of The Father Center of New Jersey (formerly called UIH Family Partners), an organization that offers career programs and other services to support men in meeting the responsibilities of fatherhood. First Presbyterian used grant funds to purchase books, crayons, colored pencils and other items, and we will provide the hands-on support and TLC to assemble the packages! Please RSVP at the link below for this fun volunteer activity! All ages are welcome. 
 
WHEN: Sunday, August 8 at 4pm
WHERE: Kunkel Park
 
RSVP to attend!

Cindy Reeder brought an urgent need to our attention. When she was helping at the Hopewell Valley Mobile Food Pantry last week, she noticed that the shelves are pretty empty! With vacations and other summertime distractions donations have fallen off. The pantry particularly needs proteins like canned tuna, salmon, chicken, and peanut butter. Also needed are starches like rice and pasta as well as tomatoes and pasta sauce, and healthy cereals. A variety of spices and milk or vegan high protein drinks like almond milk in long-lasting packages are also welcome. Please make us there is plenty of time left on the 'best used by date' on the packaging.

Thank you for being loyal supporters. You may leave your donations between the double doors at the courtyard entrance or take them directly to the panty located at Hopewell Valley YMCA, 62 South Main St, Pennington, NJ 08534.

You may check the web page for the pantry for new needs https://hvymca.org/events/hopewell-valley-mobile-food-pantry-donation/ Financial support and volunteer effort are also gratefully accepted. The contact information and donation link are at the above URL.
