Prime Time Schools Seek Donations for Sandy Victims
With facilities in Paramus and Hoboken, both hit hard by Sandy's damage, Prime Time Early Learning is collecting items for victims

While New Jersey continues to overcome Hurricane Sandy's aftermath and return to normal, Prime Time Early Learning Center with locations in Paramus and Hoboken have begun a collection drive for victim's.
"We have six schools that are collecting donations for families in need," Assistant Regional Director Melissa Daidone said. "We have two schools in hard hit areas of Hoboken and Farmingdale. Our Paramus school has been the only school open since the storm hit and we have been taking anyone who needs care on a first come first serve basis. Now that all of our schools have power we are still trying to help those who need it."
Needed items include non-perishable food, infant to adult clothing (warm sweaters, socks coats, long sleeve shirts etc), diapers and wipes, snacks and juice boxes, blankets, bottled water, along with kid and adult coats.
