The North Brunswick Woman’s Club has spent the past year adapting its community service efforts because of the novel coronavirus pandemic.
Members have made and donated more than 1,000 masks, raised over $1,000 to donate books to both CASA (Court Appointed Special Advocates) and the North Brunswick Food Bank, provided scholarships, made gift baskets of encouragement and treats for first responders, donated water and sweatshirts to Operation Chillout, and continued its partnership with Elmwood Cemetery and Wreaths Across America.
In addition, they worked together – yet separately – to create a quilt, scrapbooking their personal experiences with COVID-19 reflected in each square. They entered the quilt into the Arts and Community Service “What a Wonderful World” Contest.

“Human Trafficking Awareness and Prevention: Engaging and Empowering Youth and Families” will be presented at 7 p.m. Jan. 19 by the North Brunswick Public Library.
Teens and young adults (ninth grade and up) and their parents/caregivers (general public is also welcome) can join Diana Starace, coordinator of the RWJ Injury Prevention Program, and Healthcare Committee co-chair of the NJ Coalition Against Human Trafficking; along with Danny Papa, NJ Coalition Against Human Trafficking president, for a virtual presentation intended to educate adolescents how to protect themselves from being exploited by potential traffickers.
The North Brunswick Food Bank has been cancelled for tonight, Dec. 17.
The slippery conditions at the municipal building parking lot due to the winter storm would be unsafe for operations.
