Freshly mulled apple cider, fluffy mashed potatoes, clove seasoning in the air, hot and crispy dinner rolls, buttery roasted turkey... we could go on! But for thousands of families across New Jersey, there may be no feast awaiting at the end of the month. This is where you come in.

The season of giving (and eating!) is upon us, and we're thankful for volunteers like you who have already donated their time to improving the lives of our New Jersey neighbors. Thanksgiving reminds us what makes us fortunate and how we can lend our services to people who are less fortunate. And if you're reading this, there's something about you that already understands the importance of volunteering. With your help, we can make this Thanksgiving the most magical of someone's life!

To RSVP, or if you cannot attend the meeting but would like to help, please contact Marla Higginbotham at [email protected].

 

Corporate Corner

For the hardworking employees of Becton Dickinson, volunteerism may not always be glamorous, but it does always bring a smile! Between sorting memorabilia and treasures in the basement of an American Legion Post to leading nutrition workshops at an elementary school, Becton Dickinson showed their spirit by both preserving our history and ensuring a bright future for the kids of New Jersey. We are grateful for their contributions to behind-the-scenes (and underground!) volunteerism as well as their creative streak as gardeners and landscapers for the day. They not only beautified the American Legion, but volunteers had a chance to clear trails at a nature preserve. Serving four different locations, each group brought their unique talents and positive spirit to their projects. We know we speak for Jersey Cares, and New Jersey as a whole, when we say, thank you Becton Dickinson!
