Special thanks to @inserrasupermarkets @pseg and the Collected Connect Group @hmhnewjersey

Thanks to a generous grant from the Frances L. and Edwin L. Cummings Foundation of New York and the @pseg Foundation, the Boys & Girls Clubs of Lower Bergen County has partnered with @careplus_nj to Bring state of the art behavioral and mental health care services to the children and teens enrolled in our Lodi and Hackensack Clubhouses. This program will bring a licensed social worker into our Clubhouses to provide mental health support for children, skill development groups to support children’s academic success, and skill building workshops for members, parents, and club staff. In addition, the Social Worker will provide crisis intervention services as needed to our members, parents, and staff. This program will allow us to give our members and families the social and emotional support they need to be good students and family members!

Help us shout out Hackensack Meridian Health’s “Collected Connect Program” and their amazing staff/volunteers who collected and sorted school supplies for weeks, then joined the Boys & Girls Clubs of Lower Bergen County staff at the Lodi Club yesterday, to pack it all up in the backpacks provided by BGCLBC, to distribute to members in the coming days. We are so fortunate and grateful for their partnership. Thank you @hmhnewjersey

We remember where we were, what we did that morning, and how we felt once we learned that this was not a tragic accident, but in fact, an attack on our country! On this day, the 20th anniversary of the 9/11 attacks, and forever, we remember all those who were lost, both on that day, and in the many days following. We remember their grieving families. We remember all those who were saved on 9/11 and all of the first responders and hero’s who ran towards ground Zero as others ran away. We are a country forever changed by the events of 9/11. We could never and we will never forget!
