Holiday Donation Drive To Benefit Those Impacted By Domestic Violence

FREEHOLD, NJ — The Stephanie Nicole Parze Foundation will host their Santa Drive Stop & Drop event from Dec. 13–Dec. 15.

The light display and donation drive will benefit families and individuals dealing with domestic violence, sexual abuse and missing loved ones, event officials said.

The foundation will be collecting monetary donations for their Angel Alert Program and unwrapped toys for children in NJ safe houses throughout the event. The drive is set to run from 5:30 p.m. to 9:30 p.m. each night.

“Together, let’s brighten the holiday for families and individuals impacted by domestic violence, sexual abuse and missing loved ones,” officials said.

The Stephanie Nicole Parze Foundation was formed after the Parze Family’s daughter, Stephanie, went missing in October 2019. Parze was missing for 87 days before her body was recovered and prosecutors determined that her ex-boyfriend had killed her.

The foundation’s mission is to provide education, intervention and support to families and individuals dealing with domestic violence, sexual abuse and missing loved ones.

Their Santa Drive Stop & Drop event will take place at 14 Route 33, Freehold from Dec. 13 through Dec. 15.
