On behalf of the Deck the Town - A Holiday Light Competition & Food Drive | CEDAR GROVE, NJ, THANK YOU for making this yearβs Holiday Light Competition & Food Drive such an incredible success!
Because of your creativity, enthusiasm, and willingness to rally friends, neighbors, and family, our community came together in a big way. Between the Deck the Town competition and the Cedar Grove Fire Department Food Drive, we are proud to share that over TWO TRUCKLOADS of food are being delivered to the Human Needs Food Pantry of Montclair, New Jersey to support families in need. That is an amazing accomplishment β and it would not have been possible without you.
