Mullica Hill Friends School:  Miss Patti Sanderson’s 4th Grade Class “Thankful Thursdays”

Miss Patti Sanderson’s Fourth Grade Class from Friends School of Mullica Hill chose to donate their Thankful Thursday collections to the drive, donating over 200 items!

During this school year, the fourth grade class has organized a “Thankful Thursday” when they collect food and monetary donations every Thursday.  They have donated these collections to the Greater Woodbury Cooperative Ministries and YPATT at Trinity Methodist Church.

We’re so thankful they chose to donate their collections to our event! They were so happy to give Ms. Nancy the food and tell her about all the good things they have been doing throughout the school year. The kindness and generosity that these children have instilled in them will carry on throughout their lives. The world is blessed to have these wonderful young people!

Mullica Hill Women’s Tri Club

We’d like to thank Michelle Powell for dropping off all of the donations collected by our friends at the Mullica Hill Women’s Tri Club!

We appreciate you all!

Shoprite of Mullica Hill was a huge help in this drive for allowing the truck to stay in their parking lot and collect donations for the entire weekend. We are grateful for their participation in this event!

Thank you to Jeane Alvarez, the store HR Manager, for generously inviting us to the store parking lot, allowing us to hang posters and saving many boxes which we filled!  Also thank you to the other store managers, Trish, John and Stephen, for all of their help over the weekend. They gathered us boxes and made announcements throughout the day during the event.

We truly appreciate you!

Thank you to All of the Students From Clearview Regional High School and Rowan University for Volunteering!

Clearview students also were a huge part in the drive by volunteering for community service hours and collecting donations in the pouring rain. We also had a volunteer from Rowan University who donated his time.

We’d like to thank:

The future looks very bright with wonderful young people such as yourselves. Thank you for giving us your time towards this great cause! We wish you much success in your future.

Everyone who donated to this event is greatly appreciated! No matter how big or small the donation, every item helps fight hunger and we appreciate YOU!
