The holidays are a season of abundance, but for some Morris County families, putting enough food on the table—or purchasing everyday necessities—can be difficult. This season, consider adding a few extra items to your shopping cart. From Thanksgiving staples to diapers and toiletries, even a small donation can make a meaningful difference for a neighbor.
