Spooky season is officially here and our Halloween Costume Drive is collecting new and gently used costumes and accessories for children throughout the state. You can help by hosting a collection, dropping off costumes, or shopping our Amazon Wish List and sending donations directly to Jersey Cares.

Whether it's a superhero cape, princess dress, dinosaur costume, or spooky witch - every costume donated helps a child experience the fun of dressing up and celebrating Halloween. 🎃

Looking for a hands-on way to support families in Morris County? 💙

Join us at Marketplace in Rockaway, where volunteers support the CARE Center of New Jersey's Food for Hope pantry and help create a welcoming experience for families accessing food and other essentials.

Volunteers can assist with greeting guests as they arrive, helping families navigate the choice-shopping pantry, stocking and organizing shelves, or lending a hand in the warehouse. Every role helps keep the pantry running and ensures families are welcomed with dignity and care.

Marketplace happens regularly and volunteers are needed to keep it going. Grab a friend or come on your own and spend a few hours supporting your neighbors!
