PARSIPPANY-TROY HILLS — The Woman’s Club of Parsippany–Troy Hills (WCPTH) recently conducted its Annual Back-to-School Collection to benefit the children at the residences of Jersey Battered Women’s Service (JBWS) of Morris County. JBWS provides a safe house and transitional living accommodations for victims of domestic abuse and their children. This year, WCPTH club members and friends donated $750.00 in gift cards for Wal-Mart, Target and Kohl’s so that the children’s mothers can buy them school clothes. Club members and friends also donated almost $170.00 worth of snacks and beverages for school lunches and after-school snacking. For additional information on JBWS please contact info@jbws.org
