OUR WORK IS MAKING A DIFFERENCE
Connect For Community believes that by providing much needed items, they also create an environment where there is less domestic abuse, less addiction, less child abuse, less divorce AND a higher level of self-esteem. Our donations can make a difference between a parent getting a job or not, or a child being ridiculed at school due to lack of hygiene, due to lack of toiletries in the home. The goods received enable a family to exist in an atmosphere to those in their communities that no donation or amount of support is too small to MAKE A DIFFERENCE!
a look at the stats of just one of our programs
The “100th Day of School” program was created to show children what 100 pennies can buy. Students are asked to bring in one toiletry item we use every day—items not covered by food stamps—yet necessities in life. With over 50 schools participating across 6 counties in northern New Jersey and 1 in Harlem, NY, over the last 10 years more than 84,000 items have been collected and distributed.
