Target invites everyone to participate in their two week long giving campaign!

The campaign, which runs from January 31 through February 14, 2010, combines football and love just in time for Super Bowl XLIV and Valentine's Day, and allows participants to choose how five national charities will receive a portion of $1 million from Target to fund educational programing.

Super Love Sender allows everyone to upload a personal photo and customize one of three quirky Valentine's Day E-Cards! Football-inspired video cards to send to friends and family in support of the select charities. 

Every time a video card is sent, the chosen charity will receive one vote. The total percentage of votes will correlate to the charities' portion of the $1 million towards their educational program!

United Way will use funds to
help children enter school ready to learn,

read proficiently by 4th grade and graduate on time!

Nutrition Matters more then ever!

United Way of Passaic County kicked off another season of Nutrition Matters this week at Children's Day Nursery and Family Center in Passaic.

Nutrition Matters is an 8-week program that focuses on improving the nutrition and health of pre-school children living in very low-income households. 13 mothers and 2 fathers will attend the 8 sessions that teach healthy cooking demonstrations, good nutrition habits for young children, and fitness ideas for parents and children. Each session also provides a bags of food for each family to take home and try the food and recipe that was taught during class. Nutrition Matters, now in its fourth year, is made possible by a generous grant from the Turrell Fund.
