United Way of Passaic County looks to work with companies to give
back during the holiday through its Winter Wishes project.
This year there are three opportunities for businesses, groups and
individuals to participate in: Host a Winter Wishes Toy Drive, Help a
Family or Individual or Sponsor Books for a Classroom.
WINTER WISHES TOY DRIVE
In an effort to streamline the process of spending days sorting through
toys, we're asking that drives focus on collecting activity books,
board games, books, coloring books/crayons, preschool items and
puzzles. Similar to the Whole & Healthy Food Drive you will be
supplied with posters highlighting needed toys, and a toolkit to get
started.

HELP A FAMILY OR INDIVIDUAL
A limited number of families and individuals are helped directly by
United Way of Passaic County and it's partners. This year's families
include flood victims from the recent hurricane from around the county.

SPONSOR BOOKS FOR A CLASSROOM
We are working with School #2 in Passaic again this year. Building on
the success of our Backpacks for Kids! project we are working to provide
each child with 2 books for the holidays. An average classroom is 28
children, grades k-2.
