This is a food packing event for our club on Monday, January 19, 2026 that will benefit the following local organizations:  Homeless Solutions, NourishNJ, JBWS and Hope One.  The location will be the Grace Episcopal Church in Madison (parking is in the back of the church).  We decided to let our new members lead the way with planning and execution but we will need others in our club to volunteer as well for the set-up and packing portions of the event.  Here's the schedule:

  • 9:15AM:  Those that have purchased supplies arrive at the church with items for packing. - purchasers arrive at TMC with items for packing.
  • 9:15AM to 10:00AM:  Unload cars and set-up the assembly line for the breakfast bags. We need at least 2 more volunteers to help with set-up.
  • 10:00AM to 11:30AM :  Pack 400 bags and load into cars (2-3 "assembly lines").  We need at least 12 additional volunteers for the packing.

Participation in this wonderful event is limited to our club members and their families.  If you'd like to volunteer (and haven't already done so), please reach out to Ray DeRiggi (rjderiggi3@gmail.com) and Steve Eckhardt (eckhardt.steve@gmail.com).  What a great way to kick off 2026.
