How to volunteer and donate in New Jersey during the coronavirus outbreak (01/17/21)
Updated Jan 17, 2021;
Over the course of the past 10 months, many organizations and individuals have worked to get food to New Jerseyans in need.
In fact, some groups have massaged their missions in order to help those who have felt the economic impact of the coronavirus.
One such organization is Grow It Green Morristown, which works to create sustainable farms and gardens, and educate communities on healthy eating and environmental stewardship.
Lisa Alexander, executive director of the nonprofit said, “In 2020, determined to serve, Grow It Green modified programs and focused resources to meet the needs of our community in crisis. We provided equitable and sustained access to fresh, local food, outdoor spaces and activities, and education about the environment and health in a year when food insecurity, racial equity and climate change issues were brought to the forefront.”
