As Thanksgiving approaches, we find ourselves reflecting on how much we have to be grateful for. In that spirit, we're proud to share that Wealth by Design (located in suite 425) and First Mile Capital are sponsoring a food and essentials drive to benefit NourishNJ this holiday season.
NourishNJ is a nonprofit that provides food, housing support, and hope to neighbors in need throughout our region. Their work goes well beyond a single meal, and every donation helps their guests get through the holidays and the colder months ahead.
How you can help: drop off from November 3 – November 23
We'll have a donation box next to the security desk in the lobby of our building - 61 S. Paramus Rd., Paramus, NJ 07652. Please stop by with items from NourishNJ's current needs list:
- Food & drink: hearty cans of soup, chili or stew (flip-top preferred); low-sugar cereal and instant oatmeal packets; shelf-stable milk (32 oz); soft protein or granola bars; cases of water; canned goods; pasta and rice; pet food
- Personal care: shampoo, conditioner and body wash; deodorant; toothpaste; feminine hygiene products; laundry pods
- Warm & dry: rain ponchos or umbrellas; new, warm adult gloves, knit hats and scarves; new white t-shirts in L, XL and 2XL
Every item, large or small, makes a difference.
Can't make it to our office? There are other ways to give.
If a drop-off isn't convenient, NourishNJ's How-To-Help page offers several ways to contribute, including making a financial donation, shopping their Amazon wishlist of current needs, volunteering on-site or from home, and advocating for neighbors in need. Thank you for considering a contribution this season. If you have any questions about the drive, please contact our office. We wish you and your loved ones a warm and happy Thanksgiving.
