PLEASE DONATE!

In an effort to prepare homebound seniors for emergencies like earthquakes, heat waves, and other natural disasters, Essex-Morris Business Volunteer Council is partnering with Essex & Morris County Meals-on-Wheels to ensure every homebound senior living alone will have emergency supplies on hand. In many emergencies, it may be impossible for one to leave home or for rescuers to arrive promptly. In these cases, it's important to have supplies on hand.

If your company would like to join, please download the Business Council flyer and membership application. Thank you!
