Food Drive, Financial support, Availability of Food Stamp Disaster Program for flood victims

Announcements /

Hurricane Irene luckily didn’t damage our church property. The window wells and sump pump we recently installed were very effective. As you know from the mass media, there were many families and businesses flooded in Woodland Park and other towns along the Passaic River. Several people were evacuated. The devastation was terrible. In helping victims of the flood we began a Food Drive on Sunday September 4, 2011 which will continue through September 25, 2011. Please bring non perishable food items to the parish hall which will be given to Father English Food Pantry.

The Parish Committee decided to donate anonymously to a family from our parish. In addition we decided to donate $1,000 to the volunteer West Paterson Fire Department who was there for our town during this difficult time.

Passaic County, in conjunction with the Federal Food Stamp Disaster Program, announced that flood victims can submit their application on Monday, September 12, 2011 from 4-8PM at the Woodland Park municipal building, 5 Brophy Lane in order to receive food stamps.

Help for Hurricane Irene Victims

Announcements, Parish Life /

Hurricane Irene luckily didn’t damage our church property. The window wells and sump pump we recently installed were very effective.

As you know from the mass media, there were several families and businesses flooded in Woodland Park and other towns along the Passaic River. In our town several people were evacuated and many were able to return to their homes no sooner than Friday. The devastation is terrible. In helping victims of flood we begin a Food Drive on Sunday, September 4th. Please bring non perishable food items to the parish hall which will be given directly to flooded families or through the distribution of the Borough of Woodland Park if such case will occur.

In addition to that I ask the Parish Committee Members to attend short meeting after 9 AM Mass Sunday, September 4th to make further decisions on how we can help the flooded community of Woodland Park.
