The employees also donated 1,000 pounds of food to the Interfaith Food Pantry.
During tough economic times, those that are down on their luck often times find it hard to get food on the table. That's where the Interfaith Food Pantry comes in. The Interfaith Food Pantry is a non-denominational non-profit organization that provides food and groceries to Morris County families in need. Recently, Jersey Central Power & Light (JCP&L) helped support the pantry with a $5,000 donation. Last year, the pantry fell on hard times because a 13 percent increase from May through July in demand for food staples had nearly stripped the pantry of supplies. But local companies are stepping up to help out. JCP&L employees held bake sales and luncheons, collected food items and donated cash during the recently completed 2013 "Harvest …

Student program values commitment, celebrates ten years of service to community
On Saturday, November 19, at 8 a.m., 13 high school students and five adults met in the parking lot of Piccolo's Restaurant on Kinnelon Road. As a truck loaded with over 1,200 frozen turkeys arrived, they piled into cars and caravanned to Father English Center in Paterson to unload the first 500 turkeys. Seven hours later, they had delivered seven tons—14,000 pounds—of turkey; enough to feed everyone in Yankee Stadium. The students are volunteers for Turkeys 4U, a nonprofit organization celebrating its tenth year. It was the brainchild of Blake Wheale, a Kinnelon High School freshman back in 2001 who wanted to raise money to help provide turkeys for the poor on Thanksgiving.
