Gifts for needy kids
The Hudson County Child Abuse Commission has teamed up with the New Jersey Division of Youth and Family Services to collect 6,000 gifts for every one of the 6,000 children in state care.
The Commission seeks new, unwrapped gifts, which can be toys, gift certificates, clothing, or school items. Contributions of money will also be accepted. The children in state care range in age from newborn to 18.
Donations will be collected through Dec. 20. There are no public drop-off locations. To schedule a time to leave a donation at the Commission offices, please call Peter Herbst at (201) 798-5588.
