PARSIPPANY — The Woman’s Club of Parsippany-Troy Hills recently conducted its Annual Collection of New School Supplies to donate to the children living at Jersey Battered Women’s Service (JBWS) of Morris County shelters.
JBWS provides a safe house and transitional living accommodations for victims of domestic abuse and their children. Umbrellas for the children and their mothers were a special request this year. The umbrellas are needed for those rainy days when the children have to wait for the school bus or walk to school. Woman’s Club members and the public donated school supplies, backpacks and umbrellas with a total value of over $1,500.00.
Target also donated a $150.00 gift card to purchase supplies. New this year was a collection box at Boiling Springs Savings Bank in Lake Hiawatha. Bank Manager, Stephanie LiCausi (and WCPTH club member) stated that customers were very generous in supporting the school supply drive. Donations included six filled backpacks that were dropped off at the bank. For additional information on JBWS, email by clicking here.
