Volunteer Opportunity For Secaucus Kids: Toiletry Bags For Homeless

SECAUCUS, NJ — On Dec. 22, kids, teens and families will meet at the Harmon Cove clubhouse to fill and assemble toiletry bags, which will be given out to the homeless in our area.

It's called the Kids Blessing Bag project and it was created by Secaucus resident Brenda Green, who is also a fitness instructor and health coach (Fit 4 A Better Me).

Every December, for the past eight years, Green and other volunteers fill purple bags with toiletries, such as toothpaste and deodorant, food and winter hats/gloves, to distribute to the homeless and local shelters.

The event will take place at 1 p.m. Dec. 22 in the Harmon Cove clubhouse. All are welcome. If you want to help stuff bags, purchase items to put inside bags or sign up to drop off toiletry bags, sign up here: https://www.kidsblessingbagpro...

"We’re thrilled to share that Santa will be joining us to bring extra joy to the kids," said Green this week. "This year, we’re partnering with shelters in Bergen, Hudson, Essex and just confirmed Passaic County."

She has a goal of donating 300 bags this December.
