Help the Avalon Edgewater NJ fire victims

January 21, there was a devastating fire in Edgewater.
•    240 of the 408 units in the Avalon community were destroyed, permanently displacing more than 500 residents.
•    Over 500 residents from the Avalon complex's adjacent building were displaced.
•    Hundreds of our neighbors lost what they own.
•    Hundreds of the town's children are without necessities and need your help.

The Jewish Federation of Northern New Jersey in coordination with the Jewish Family Service of Bergen and North Hudson are collecting school supplies, toys, games, small houseware appliances, new socks, new underwear (in original package), toiletries, diapers, feminine hygiene products, and pet food for our neighbors displaced by the horrific fire.
