Young Leader Makes a Difference

Thank you to Michael Merlino, pictured here with his brother Nicholas, a member of the  Boy Scouts of America, from Ridgewood, who recently held a food and toiletry drive for our Fr. English Food Pantry in Paterson. 

Michael organized and coordinated this food drive by emailing my neighbors and asking for donations.

"I know it is a difficult time for so many, and I just wanted to give back," said Michael.

Catholic Charities Food Pantries are giving out more food than any other time in our history and support from kind donors, like Michael, is greatly appreciated. 

Catholic Charities remains operational during this challenging time to help those most in need. To donate, learn more about our response, or if you or a loved one are in need of help, please visit  www.ccpaterson.org/corona.

We are appreciative Michael's act of kindness and his giving spirit!
