PCBOR - Proudly Celebrates the Grand Opening of Military Food Pantry
Paterson marked Presidents Day by opening a food pantry for military veterans at the Gordon Canfield Senior Apartments on Ward Street. Rep. Bill Pascrell Jr., D-Paterson, and Mayor Jane Williams-Warren led the opening ceremony by paying tribute to the veterans and to the two organizations that started the pantry: the Passaic County Board of Realtors and the Paterson Great Falls Rotary Club.
During a two-year period, Realtors had raised about $25,000.John Walters, the former president of the board, was looking for a worthy cause. That's when he learned the Great Falls Paterson Rotary Club was deeply involved in helping veterans.
"It was a no-brainer," Walters said of the donation. "I wanted to do something for veterans, especially those who are just coming back."
