Jersey Cares Day May 2, 2009

Jersey Cares Day is a day of true partnership and community building as people from all over New Jersey unite for the common goal of revitalizing and beautifying Newark and Jersey City communities.

Come join us on Saturday, May 2nd for The 11th Annual Jersey Cares Day. Volunteers will work together in schools, parks and nonprofit organizations throughout the cities of Newark and Jersey City. We'll bring much needed help in such projects as painting murals on classroom walls, planting gardens outside school entrances, organizing classroom libraries, landscaping and removing trash in community parks, painting lines for outdoor games on blank school parking lots, and so much more!

While Jersey Cares Day is a fun and rewarding way to help our neighbors in need, it's also a fundraiser to support all of the important work Jersey Cares does throughout the year. Like a walk-a-thon, Jersey Cares Day volunteers raise pledges for the time they are contributing, making the event an inspiring way to give back to the community and help that work continue all year round!
