| (Paramus, NJ) January 9, 2009 – Children's Aid and Family Services was recently awarded a $6,000 grant from the Lillian P. Schenck Fund. The donation will be used for the agency's Baby Basics program, which provides free nutritional formula and diapers to children ages two and younger of low-income parents.
The Lillian P. Schenck Fund, which is managed by PNC Wealth Management, has been a longtime supporter of Children's Aid and Family Services' programs. "We are tremendously grateful for the continued generosity and support of the Lillian P. Schenck Fund," says Bob Jones, Ph.D., president & CEO of the agency.
Lillian Pitkin Schenck, an extremely generous individual with a charitable nature, was a resident of Englewood, NJ, until her passing in 1960. The Lillian P. Schenck Fund was established after her death to fund organizations with a religious, charitable, scientific, literary or educational purpose.
