PARSIPPANY — Purple Paint delivered around 1,000 pounds of food to the Parsippany Food Pantry as well as donated $1,000. This was the result of a two-week-long food drive hosted by Purple Paint. This was in honor of the Hindu celebration Diwali which was on November 14.
Purple Paint was able to raise these funds through online classes under the program Classes 4 A Cause. Young middle and high school students held online classes and 100% of the funds raised were donated to support this cause. They do private tutoring and the classes are still open. Purple Paint requests your help and support. Click here and enroll your children today or make a donation now to support our community.
