This holiday season, Peapack-Gladstone Bank teamed up with the United Way of Northern New Jersey in collecting new toys, clothing and books at its Somerset County branches for distribution to local needy families, children and teens. For those lacking financial resources, purchasing holiday gifts is not an easy task. The donations distributed by the United Way of Northern New Jersey are often the only presents many low-income residents will receive during the holidays.
Volunteers are essential to the success of any program, so when the time came to sort through the donated items, Peapack-Gladstone Bank employees stepped up. On December 11, Peapack-Gladstone Bank’s Gifts of the Season holiday team assisted at the United Way’s consolidation warehouse to sort and tag donations for distribution to struggling Somerset County families.
Helping those in need during these economically stressful times can be a challenge, but with Peapack-Gladstone Bank’s help, many families, children and teens right in our own communities will have a very happy holiday! Peapack-Gladstone Bank is dedicated to supporting the communities in which it does business and looks forward to supporting those individuals and organizations that form the fabric of our communities in 2013. Thank you for your generosity in supporting the United Way of Northern New Jersey.
