PARSIPPANY — During the month May, Northvail’s Student Council members encouraged everyone to bring in non-perishable food items for the Interfaith Food Pantry in Morris Plains. The spring and summer tend to be lean months in terms of food donations but the need for food doesn’t lessen. The council members under the guidance of Ms. Giordano, a 5th grade teacher at Northvail, helped organize, tally, and bag the food. Northvail collected three carloads of food for the pantry, which was an amazing success!
More than 4,400 families in Morris County rely on Interfaith Food Pantry in Morris Plains, for supplemental groceries year round. In 2013, they distributed “893,000 pounds of food to low-income working families and senior citizens living on fixed incomes and currently are distributing nearly 1.7 tons of food per day!”
