The Berkeley Heights Volunteer Rescue Squad Cadets have teamed up with Backpacks for Life to support our homeless veterans. Backpacks for Life is a new non-profit group that aims to provide homeless veterans with the basic life essentials that they cannot provide for themselves. With each backpack, they not only provide the homeless veterans with daily essentials, but also give the veterans hope and resources for the future.
How can you help? Donate these items for the backpacks: Toiletries: toothbrush, toothpaste, wipes, soap, hand sanitizer, shampoo, conditioner, lip balm, first aid kits, tissues, body powder and deodorant.
Also, you can choose to send a tax-deductible donation of $25 for the purchase of one-full backpack. Checks payable: “Backpacks For Life,” and mail BHVRS, Cadet Committee, 378 Snyder Ave., Berkeley Heights, 07922.
Items can be dropped off at inboxes at the following locations:
Any of the Berkeley Heights Public Schools Berkeley Heights Public Library The following businesses: Pure Movement Dance Center at 111 Industrial Road; DeFabio Chiropractic, Spine & Sports Rehab, 308 Springfield Ave., #1; Advyzsom LLC at 335 Snyder Ave.; and ReNew Salon & Spa at 550 Mountain Ave., Gillette.
All donations are due by Dec. 16. Any questions, please contact BHVRS and leave a message for Cadet Committee at (908) 464-1141. Thank you for your support.
