Questions about the CODES Thanksgiving Food Drive can be directed to CODES club leader Daria Shvetsov at: shvetd@d-e.org.
D-E families are also invited and encouraged to support the Bergen Family Center (BFC), with a Coats Drive. BFC, Bergen County's oldest family service agency, supports local families in need, providing care for the elderly, children, and families.
If you would like to help, please give the gift of warmth by donating a clean, new or gently used coat for a child and/or adult. Collection bins are now located in the upper level (second floor) of the Klein Campus Center and in Umpleby Lobby. The Coats Drive is being facilitated with help from US club Teens Connecting Communities (TCC).
Questions about the Coats Drive may be directed to US TCC leader Eric Topfer at: topfee@d-e.org or you may also contact D-E parent Terri Chartouni at terri@chartouni.us to arrange for your coat(s) to be picked up. To download a flyer about the Coats Drive (PDF) please click here.
