Club members have been busy volunteering at The Community Thrift Shop in Midland Park this week. We work one week a year tagging donated clothing in order to keep our commitment and our ability to donate gently used goods. It is a win-win, small, ongoing fundraiser. Our club gets a percentage of the sale price of donated goods with our club number on them (#39), and we have a place to donate our gently used clothing and household goods to benefit others. Please support us if you have Items to donate!
Two kitchen size garbage bags full of donations per person are accepted every Monday morning from 10am-11:30, and on the first Saturday morning of the month at the same hours. The Thrift Shop is at 85 Godwin Avenue in Midland Park. Turn right onto Goffle Ave at the Godwin/Goffle intersection and then immediately left into the shopping center. Bear right and down around the back of the Shopping Center. The Thrift Shop will be on the left.
Please mark your bags with the #39! Thanks for your support!
On Saturday, March 20th, our club manned tables at Borough Hall to collect non-perishable items for The Center For Food Action. This was our second food drive of this club year, and town residents as well as members drove by and donated. Thanks to their generosity, we were able to fill many boxes and bags with much needed food for those in need. Thanks also, to the members who donated their time to work shifts from 8am until Noon, to the Northern Highlands Student Volunteers, and to the DPW who loaded up a truck for us. Together we made a difference for those whom The Center For Food Action serves!

The New Jersey Federation of Woman’s Clubs celebrated its 125th Anniversary by holding a Day of Service on November 16th. All clubs were asked to donate goods that a young man or woman aging out of foster care might need when setting up their own living space. Among the items members donated were toiletries, cleaning products, blankets, socks, backpacks, hats, notebooks, t-shirts, snack items and many more. Members also wrote notes of encouragement to be given to the young people as they set out on their own. We filled a car with our donations. Many thanks to Sheila Ghorashi and Linda Miko who drove the items to Montville to our district collection location.
Won’t you join the Upper Saddle River Woman’s Club and donate to feed a family in need for the holidays? Your donation of $60 feeds a family of 8-10 (or several meals for a smaller family). We are partnering with CYACYL (Change Your Attitude, Change Your Life), and all meals (turkey or ham) will be cooked by a chef and delivered ready to eat. Included in each meal are meat, vegetables, potatoes, stuffing, cranberry sauce, salad, rolls, butter and dessert.
Send your check, made out to The Woman’s Club of Upper Saddle River, to our P.O. Box 645 in Saddle River. Write CYACYL on the memo line and specify your choice of gift (turkey or ham). Please send your check by December 5th, and join us in making a difference for many families this holiday season!
Upper Saddle River’s Town Wide Oktoberfest on Saturday, which benefited USR Cares and celebrated the town’s 125th anniversary, was a success! The weather was beautiful, and our club’s table drew many residents who wanted to learn about who we are and what we do–as well as many children who created their own autumn leaf decorations. Thanks to our members who set up and manned the table–and then broke it all down at the end of the day!
We have donated non-perishable food items and birthday bags to Emmanuel Cancer Center this year. The last delivery before the summer was made yesterday. We are happy to support this worthwhile cause, and plan to continue our support for the next club year. Birthday Bags provide celebration ingredients for the children and their families fighting cancer. A cake mix, a can of frosting, candles, balloons, festive plates and napkins, and other small party items in a birthday bag can make a big difference!
Pictured below are Maria Di Martino and Linda Miko (Club Social Service Chairs), Inessa Rome (Director of Emmanuel Cancer Center), and Nona Maher (Club President).
December is a special time to remember to give from the heart. We drove to the Emmanuel Cancer Foundation in Midland Park with a car load of non-perishable food supplies donated by our members. We are happy to support this worthy cause that helps families faced with the crisis of pediatric cancer. We also support them with Birthday Bags for the children.
