Hurricane Sandy New Jersey Relief Fund
New Jersey’s First Lady, Mary Pat Christie, has organized a special fund to “aid, comfort, and rebuild” the state. The Hurricane Sandy New Jersey Relief Fund is “the main home for people helping New Jerseyans,” Gov. Christie said. At the same time, various local organizations are collecting food, clothing and other household items for those in need. Some are listed here.
Hess Oil made the initial contribution — $2.5 million, he said.
“John Hess is a New Jerseyan. He’s someone who cares about this state,” the governor said.

East Rutherford
In East Rutherford on Saturday
The East Rutherford Education Association is taking donations of school supplies for teachers and students of the Robert L Craig School in Moonachie.
Their classes are being held at various other schools in the area for the next month and will then be housed in 30+ trailers for the remainder of this school year.
Please consider a donation of any type of classroom supplies. Staplers, copy paper reams, marble notebooks, markers, folders, glue (sticks and bottles), teaching supplies, bulletin board decorations — anything in a school environment but more then just the “back to school supplies.” Gift cards to Lakeshore or Bosland’s are great.
Dropoff is at Wallington Self Storage on Paterson Ave in Wallington or Mckenzie School in East Rutherford (once school resumes).
Supplies will be collected at both locations for the entire month of November and will be distributed to the Moonachie School system once their temporary trailers arrive.
