Help NJ kids in need start off the school year right - donate supplies online or drop off items today!
Each year, thousands of NJ children attend their first day of school without basic educational tools. These under-resourced children struggle to succeed academically. Jersey Cares works with dozens of schools, children's shelters and community centers with the goal that no children in NJ will have to experience a first day of school without these basic necessities. With your help, we can bridge the gap between disadvantage and academic success!
Ferguson Enterprises LLC through our local Ferguson Connects chapter in NY Metro is committed to helping NJ children start off their school year right. Join our cause through monetary donations or through dropping off acceptable items at one of our locations*.
