Assemblywoman Rosy Bagolie Launches Holiday Food Drive - Help Bring Hope to Essex and Passaic Counties

"As temperatures plummet, Code Blue shelters offer warmth, but many still face hunger," Bagolie said in a message to constituents. "We're calling on our community to help provide soup and other essential items for care packages that will make a real difference for our neighbors in need."

Each care package will include:
.Single-serve soup with pop-top lids
.Individual cereal packs
.Single-serve milk cartons
.8 oz. apple juice
.Breakfast bars
.Single-serve fruit cups
.Single-serve crackers
.An inspirational note and information on local warming centers

"Soup is life," said Bagolie. "It's the anchor of the Emergency Relief Kits for those facing winter's harshest Code Blue nights. A single can of soup can truly save a life. Let's come together this holiday season to make a difference."

The 27th District includes Livingston, Millburn, Montclair, Roseland, and West Orange in Essex County, and Clifton in Passaic County.
