Community Service Project

The Community Service Committee will be collecting “forever” stamps, greeting cards, envelopes and stationery for the Stamp Out Despair campaign. This cause is sponsored by First Friends, a group that visits those who are held in immigration detention in New Jersey, and the donations are used to assist detainees in writing letters.  For more information, the home page of this organization is:  www.irate-firstfriends.org.
