DR. KING SERVICE PROJECT FAIR 2021 – VIRTUAL
The Interfaith Human Relations Committee of the Cranford Clergy and the Committee for the Dr. King Service Fair would like to invite the community to the Ninth Annual Dr. King Service Fair, which will be held virtually on January 18, 2021.
We want to continue our tradition of helping others as a community; however, this year you do not have to wait, you can start today! Many people have been helping others during the pandemic. Your donations continue to lift and help a lot of people in need. Even a simple gesture of checking on a neighbor, calling a friend or shopping for others is an act of service and kindness.
Last year, with your time and help during the Dr King Service Project Fair, we came together to make and donate: paper floral arrangements to the Center for Hospice Hope, 225 sandwich lunch bags to St Joseph Social Service and Food for Friends with the support of Perriotti’s Quality Meats; Valentine’s Day Cards to Children’s Specialized Hospital; decorated picture frames to the residents of Cranford Senior Housing; personal care items bags to the YWCA Women’s Shelter and Raphael’s Life House along with donated diapers, gloves and socks and the Girl Scouts sponsored wrapping gifts and making birthday cards for A Birthday Wish; and the Brownies made flag pins for the veterans. The proceeds from the snack table were donated to the Cranford First Aid Squad and Cranford Family Cares.
Although, this year we cannot gather together physically due to safety restrictions, we can continue our tradition in the spirit of building community to help others. We encourage you to continue your work to help others during the pandemic. You are also invited to continue to support our local service organizations, such as: Cranford Family Cares, The Community FoodBank of New Jersey (Hillside), St. Joseph Social Service Center & Operation Warm Heart (Elizabeth), The Cranford/Elmora Soup Kitchen (Cranford) FISH Hospitality Program (Piscataway), Family Promise of Union County (Elizabeth), Raphael’s Life House Inc. (Elizabeth), Food for Friends (Rahway) or an organization that is meaningful to you. You can even make a craft, card or write a note to a neighbor, family member, someone in an extended care facility or the Veterans at Lyons or the East Orange Medical Center. Thank you for working to make this world a better place. In the spirit of Dr King, any act of kindness and service is an act and sign of greatness.
Thank you for your continued support to build community and to help others. Janice Grevious and Cindy Hannen for the
