As part of their Silver Award Project, girls from Metuchen Girl Scout Troop 80743 will hold several collection drives and events to benefit Amandla Crossing. The first drive will be a diaper drive. Donors can drop off diapers through Sept. 21. Donations will also be accepted at Pet Pals Resort on Jersey Avenue.
Amandla Crossing offers a transitional housing program for homeless, single-parent families on public assistance. Through various services, residents learn practical skills to help provide a healthy and positive home environment for their children, and improve their educational and social skills to move toward economic self-sufficiency.
