United Way Gifts Of The Season

Holiday Cheer for Those in Need

For ALICE families living paycheck to paycheck, holidays put even more stress on already stretched budgets. For example, recent ALICE data show that 824,600 New Jersey children live in financial hardship. In addition to facing difficult choices, such as paying the heating bill or putting food on the table, ALICE parents, seniors, and individuals with disabilities are forced to weigh the financial consequences of participating in the season’s festivities.

​

Last year, with the community’s help, United Way of Northern New Jersey Gifts of the Season distributed over 5,000 gifts to ALICE households across northern New Jersey. Get involved:

• Purchase a Gift – Through the YouGiveGoods website, purchase warm winter clothes or toys by Tuesday, December 3 and have it delivered right to our facilities.

• Fulfill A Wish – Purchase a gift for a specific child, teen, senior citizen, or adult with special needs. Note, any gifts you purchase must be brought to 412 Mt. Kemble Ave, Suite 100C, Morristown, NJ 07960 between December 2-6, 2024.

• Donate – Your financial donation will allow us to purchase unfulfilled wish list items and gift cards for ALICE families.
