🧣❄️ The Newark Division of rutgers_pd, along with many community partners, is proud to host its annual Winter Blessing Drive!

Each year, this initiative uplifts individuals and families in our community who are navigating some of life’s toughest moments: children who have lost a parent or sibling, youth overcoming serious illness, students who have worked hard to turn their academic journeys around, and families facing significant hardship.

This year, the drive is expanding to support senior citizens, especially those experiencing isolation or financial strain. We are committed to providing support, dignity, and joy to Newark residents of all ages.

RUPD is accepting donations of:
🧸 New, unwrapped toys
🧤 New hats, gloves, socks, and scarves (adult and child sizes)

🛒 Link in bio to donate through our Amazon Wishlist

🗓️ Donations will be accepted through Friday, December 12 and will directly benefit public school students, seniors, and housing-insecure individuals across Newark.

❤️🏙️ Thank you for helping us bring warmth, care, and community to our city this holiday season.
