DERMER DREAMS FOOD DRIVE / VOLUNTEERS NEEDED

Looking for a meaningful way for your student to give back? Montclair High School students can earn 10 Community Service Hours by joining the Dermer Dreams Food Drive to support Toni’s Kitchen!

Students (with a parent) collect and deliver food donations to help fight hunger right here in our community. All materials and instructions are provided – it’s easy and impactful. Sign up today at www.dermerdreams.org and help us reach our goal of ONE MILLION pounds of food for families in need!

Toni’s Kitchen, a food ministry of St. Luke’s Episcopal Church in Montclair, provides healthy food to neighbors in need in Montclair, West Orange, and Bloomfield — promoting dignity, health, and independence.
