The agency has some new opportunities from the Barclays PGA Tour to helping at the Paramus Park Mothers Day Baby Basics Drive, to getting to know your neighbor to conducting workshops for The Center for Alcohol and Drug Resources to helping prepare the mailing of the 2010 Spring Appeal.

If any of these opportunities interests you and you want to volunteer, please call Karen Winick at 201 261 2800 x 222 or email at kwinick@cafsnj.org.
