Volunteers Needed 1/29 for Recycling Helps Kids

Volunteers Needed on Saturday, January 29

As you may or may not know, The C.H.I.L.D. Organization of SPF, (Children Having Individual Learning Differences), is a non-profit, educational help and resource group, separate from the school system.  C.H.I.L.D. plans/provides monthly parent/teacher workshops and provides student activities, such as the end of the year Recognition and Awards Night for students receiving any form of Special Services at no charge.

C.H.I.L.D. is able to provide these events at no charge as we earn revenue from other activities such as helping out at the Fanwood Recycling Center. 

This Saturday, 1/29, volunteers are needed to help at the Fanwood Recycling Center for a couple hours in the morning.  This event provides Community Service Recognition letters for High School Student Volunteers for their Student High School Portfolios, or any other HS Senior Project or Religious Educational requirements as well.  Please see the flyer below for more...

Thank you.
