THE ANNUAL CAMPAIGN

The Community Chest was founded to provide grants to agencies that serve those facing the greatest hardships in our community.  Awards help fund agency operations or direct services to clients. The largest source of our grants to local nonprofits is through donations made to our ANNUAL CAMPAIGN.

Please consider making your gift today to help those facing the greatest need in eastern Bergen County.
