Sneaker and Backpack Collection for Students at Strengthen Our Sisters
A big thank you to our generous members who purchased new sneakers and backpacks for the 17 school age students in grades K through 12 at Strengthen Our Sisters Shelter. They were delivered on Friday–just in time for the start of school, along with toddler socks and shoes from our ongoing summer drive, and donations that came in to our collection box in the Saddle River Post Office. Two high chairs and assorted other items were collected from generous families in town and delivered to the shelter as well.

Strengthen Our Sisters is in need of new or gently used children’s shoes (for
Toddler sizes up to age 5), and new socks for both boys and girls in the same age range.
