HELP BUILD NEWBRIDGE SERVICES’ FUTURE

Running On Empty

Did you know that Pequannock Township has a food pantry that serves more than 100 foodinsecure households? As we approach the middle of summer, the pantry’s shelves are nearly bare. Please consider making a food contribution (there are many needs, including condiments, canned goods, coffee, cereal, paper products and more) or a financial donation. Drop-offs are at Friendship Hall, 525-529 Newark-Pompton Turnpike, or contact the food pantry at 973-835-1145 or peqtwspfoodpantry@yahoo.com.

SCHOOL’S OUT!

Drivers: Please be mindful of pedestrians and cyclists who have the right of way. This means to safely stop and let them pass. Town intersections with the new Pompton Valley Rail Trail, especially at Alexander Avenue and Jackson Avenue, require particular attention. Let’s make it a great— and safe—summer, all around Pequannock Township!

During NewBridge Services’ 60th anniversary, the nonprofit is offering commemorative bricks for purchase. The bricks will be installed as a walkway at a new campus on Newark-Pompton Turnpike in Pompton Plains. NewBridge is relocating its headquarters to a site that includes its adult psychiatric day care program and the Evans Place apartments. Through counseling, housing and education, NewBridge tackles some of society’s toughest issues, including mental illness, substance use, isolation and homelessness.
