As Interfaith Furnishings, a charity that provides furniture to the needy at no cost, seeks a benefactor to provide us new warehouse space. We want to thank the benefactors who have helped us in our last six years. Most recently, Blue Diamond Disposal Inc.  has generously provided us a free dumpster for a weekend so that we could clear our warehouse of damaged furniture in preparation for our next move, saving us great expense. Over the years Marty’s Rent a Wreck has given us a special rate on our monthly truck, again at a great savings. There is no way we could have existed without the donation of warehouse space from our our former “landlords – Jeff Barnish, James Grecco. And now we are at that critical state where our continued operation is dependent on another generous donation of space.  We need about 2500 square feet of space on the ground floor.  If you have or know of such space, please contact Mary Jo Welch, 973-361-1666, as we have two months to find a new “home”. Thank you to all of those organizations and individuals who have helped us.  They are worthy of your business and all of our gratitude.

Last year, we donated over 300 Easter baskets to the children of Holy Trinity Church in Passaic. Our goal this year is to provide at least that many again. At this point we will begin collecting items for the baskets: Candy-filled plastic eggs, medium size Easter baskets, chocolate bunnies, small Easter toys, cellophane basket bags and other new things that go in Easter baskets. Please encourage your kids to help out in this very important way. Bins will be available for drop-off during all Religious-Ed classes between now and April 10th. Also, you can drop off your donations when coming to Mass on the weekends. If you don’t have kids in our Religious Education Program but would like to help, please feel free to leave Easter items in the basket in the gathering space. This is one of our largest service projects of the year. Thanks in advance for your generosity.
