The Spirit of Giving
On the eve of Thanksgiving, Newark Community
Solutions along with the Newark Youth Court staff and members prepared and
packed food for the 2016 “Share the Harvest” event hosted by PACTION Newark at the Clinton Memorial AMEZ Church.
PACTION Newark is a consortium formed in fall of 2015 to facilitate
collaboration and sharing between NGOs, faith based organizations
and community organizers with the goal of serving the homeless, local
youth and other vulnerable residents of Newark and the Greater Newark area. The
two day event brought in volunteers from organizations and businesses all
determined to help provide warm meals for the holiday. Last year PACTION Newark
served and delivered 3,541 meals to the community and we hoped to surpass that
this year!
Newark
Community Solutions and Newark Youth Court are so proud to take part in an
event that truly embodies the spirit of the season.
From
our family to yours – HAPPY THANKSGIVING!
