Donation Opportunity

Jersey City WIC...they will take any donations at any time!
A Hoboken mom dropped off tons of toys and books recently and they were so appreciative, they actually put all the toys under their tree to entice children to play with them...and then they couldn't wait to tell that child they could take the toy home.

They accept furniture, clothes (women, infant and children), shoes, toys, books, ANYTHING....
Location: 201 Cornelison Avenue, Jersey City, NJ
