Spreading Halloween magic! 🎃👻

It’s been a festive few weeks for JLMN, with our members working hard to make Halloween special for children and families throughout our community.

Our organization participated in multiple trunk or treat events, creating opportunities to connect with families, engage with kids, and strengthen our relationships with the communities we serve. Through festive decorations and candy distributions, our volunteers helped create safe and fun environments for children to Trunk or Treat at the Montclair Child Development Center and the Newark YMCA.

Earlier this month, our members also assembled over 80 Halloween treat bags for children at the Newark Y. And to keep the festivities going, our wonderful Junior League member Debbie Alberstadt delivered bags of candy to Newark’s Abington Avenue Elementary School for its Trunk or Treat event! 🍬

We’re so grateful to all of the volunteers who dedicated their time and energy to making these events successful, and thankful for the opportunity to celebrate the season while giving back! 🧡

Thank you to everyone who joined us, and a special thank-you to our Social Chair, Gabrielle Rossi, for hosting (and for the wonderful spread)!

Back in June, we fully restocked the School Supply Closet at Newark’s Abington Avenue School, which serves students in pre-K through eighth grade, to help ensure students and teachers were set up for success this September! ✏️ 📚

Thanks to our members, we donated everything from pens, pencils, markers, and crayons to brand-new backpacks and essential classroom supplies like paper towels, tissues, and hand sanitizer.

The Abington Avenue School team was thrilled with the contribution, and we’re already looking forward to our next restock! A special shout-out to our member Bryn for coordinating the donation and making the delivery — thank you for your time and effort ❤️

Today, we remember the lives lost 25 years ago on September 11, 2001, honor the courage of the first responders and countless others who served, and reflect on the strength and compassion shown by communities across our region and throughout our country.

Here in Montclair and Newark, we are especially mindful of our neighbors whose lives were forever changed that day. We will never forget. ❤️
