Chances Community Center Inc.

Hi, We are Eva Mazurek and Alexis Maroukian, currently attending Madison High School and we are reaching out to you today to support Chances Community Center Inc., a Newark-based non-profit, dedicated to providing essential support to local residents who are deeply impoverished, and they can truly use help right now, especially for their children. WE are leading a drive to supply back-to-school items for CHILDREN in need, with a goal of raising $1,500 to purchase the supplies listed BELOW. Thanks to partnerships with community donors, we can secure backpacks and other materials at wholesale prices to ensure every child is prepared for school.

While donations of monetary gifts are much preferred (so we can accommodate more children in need). Donations of new or gently used backpacks and school supplies that are no longer needed are also greatly appreciated and we can arrange pick-up as needed. If you would like to donate new or gently used items. Drop Off: 171 Central Avenue, Madison, New Jersey. If Pick Up is needed please text a coordinator at the contact information provided here.

Together, we can make a difference!
