Each year on June 21st, the longest day of the year, communities come together to harness the volunteer spirit and improve the community where they live for The National Day of Action.
This year, help us stock the shelves at United Way's new food pantry which will support families who are part of UWCJ programs; including the Nurse-Family Partnership and a place-based program in Jamesburg that works with low-income families with young children.
It's not too late to help - the drive will run through July 8th.
