5 Local Organization To Get Involved With This Holiday

The holidays are a time for giving. But more than giving presents to friends and family, Nutley Kia is committed to giving back to the community we love. We want to encourage you to give back local organizations and communities this year.

 

Not sure where to start? We’re here to help. Check out our list of some amazing local organizations that make it easy to contribute to this year.

The Phoenix Center

The Phoenix Center of New Jersey works with the community and its families to provide programs, education, and empowerment to students with developmental disabilities. By focusing on the student and not their disabilities, they are able to encourage each student to reach their potential and harness their incredible strengths. Support them this year by purchasing a raffle ticket for their “Prepare Students for Life Beyond the Classroom” initiative.

 

Neighbor to Neighbor

Neighbor to Neighbor is a local organization formed to support people in need or need a little help getting back on their feet. They’ve partnered with the Human Needs Food Pantry to create a food delivery program to cater to the growing needs of senior citizens in the area. They are in constant need of volunteers in many areas from food delivery to family assistance.

United Way of Central New Jersey

United Way’s goal is to create better opportunities for at-risk community members. From health to financial stability, they cover a number of categories affecting the community and help to raise awareness, funds, and make an impact.  Join them for a special Holiday Cares event!

 Mary’s Meals

 

This local organization believes no child should go hungry. Mary’s Meals provides meals to children in need all over the world, in their schools and communities. Their efforts not only feed children, but encourage a more successful educational setting, support small farmers, and increase government recognition of school feeding. There are plenty of ways to get involved with this important organization this holiday.

 

Smile For Charity

Smile for Charity boasts a mission geared to “mobilize communities to take collective action to uplift the forgotten and marginalized.” They have a wide range of programs from food and diaper pantries to mental health initiatives. Don’t miss an opportunity to help such a strong array of demographics that are in need this year.
