PARSIPPANY — President Carol Tiesi of the Kiwanis Club of Greater Parsippany graciously handed over the food gathered on Sunday, October 29th at ShopRite to Michele Picone, the Director of Health and Human Services for Parsippany-Troy Hills Township.
The Kiwanis Club of Greater Parsippany not only gathered 15 full shopping carts of food but also collected hundreds of dollars in ShopRite gift cards and $355.00 in cash to support the Parsippany Food Pantry.
In a joint community effort, members of the Kiwanis Club of Greater Parsippany, including Carol Teisi, Doreen Brennan, Judi Chase, Susan Slaughter, and Marie Abahoonie, joined forces with 19 students from the Key Clubs of Parsippany High School and Parsippany Hills High School to conduct the food collection.
Their collaborative endeavor not only symbolized the spirit of service and camaraderie but also underscored the impact that organizations and youth can make when they come together for a common cause. The successful food drive is a testament to their dedication and the collective commitment of the local clubs to address food insecurity in their community.
The Kiwanis Club of Greater Parsippany extends heartfelt gratitude to ShopRite of Parsippany for providing a space for their food collection efforts. Marking their calendar for continued community support, the club is set to host another food collection event on Sunday, December 3 from 11:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m.
