How Wreaths In Long Valley Give A Helping Hand To The Community

LONG VALLEY, NJ - The festive wreaths hung in Long Valley, a beloved old-fashioned tradition, are coming back through the annual “Sponsor a Wreath” fundraiser.

Coordinated by the Long Valley Community Assistance Program, a 501c3 non-profit organization overseen by volunteers from nine churches in the area, LVCAP helps to run both Long Valley’s Food Pantry and Emergency Fund, the wreath fundraiser supporting both. The Emergency Fund helps out residents and those involved with any of LVCAP’s participating churches, with a one-time “critical financial need.”
