Basking Ridge, N.J.� In conjunction with the
United Way of Northern NJ, Affinity Federal Credit Union Foundation, a 501(c)(3) charity corporation, will participate in a "Stuff the Bus" campaign to collect school supplies for financially strapped Somerset and Morris County families.
Beginning Monday, July 29, local residents are encouraged to drop supplies at� Affinity Federal Credit Union branches that will serve as collection points.
The effort will be spearheaded by Affinitys Member Experience Officer Katie Ona, who is a member of the United Way of Northern New Jerseys Womens Leadership Coalition.
"This effort will be a tremendous support to working families in Somerset and Morris counties who simply cannot make ends meet," said Ona. "Sadly, this population is on the rise, but their need is being swept under the carpet because they are employed."
The Affinity Federal Credit Union Foundation serves several local charities including: Matheny Medical and Educational Center; The Midland School; Hope for Veterans �; Somerset Home for Temporarily Displaced Children; Saint Clares Hospital, Saint Peters Healthcare System; Morris County Organization for Hispanic Affairs; Adult Day Center of Somerset County; and Raritan Valley Community College Foundation. Support from the outing also funds the Robert L. Birkhahn Community Spirit Scholarship and the Richard A. Romano Rutgers Scholarship.
