6,000!!

The Passaic Neighborhood Center for Women is a collaborative ministry that provides a peaceful and safe environment for women to meet, share and grow. The Center is guided by the belief that when women are empowered, the family is strengthened.  Through the support of the Diocese of Paterson and its religious communities, through the donations of generous benefactors, through grants from religious communities and the County of Passaic, through the hard work of our staff and volunteers, through our collaboration with other organizations, and through the dedication of our women, we are very happy to share with you that we have surpassed 6,000 visits since opening our doors in September 2013!  During this time, our faithful volunteers have worked over 3,300 hours -- not only planting gardens and teaching English, quilting, crocheting, computers, art and Rosetta Stone, but touching lives and strengthening families in one of the poorest areas of New Jersey.

Currently, we are happy to distribute a multitude of diapers and baby wipes to our women, thanks to the generosity of donors, old and new.  Additionally, Sister Elaine is coordinating our very first, professionally-produced, promotional video.  

What else is in store for 2017?  Stay tuned to our blog and website to find out.  

In the meantime, we say THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!!
