Holiday Fundraising

At Community Day Nursery, we’ve been dedicated to serving the children and
families of East Orange for over 126 years. This holiday season, our Holiday
Fundraising Drive is focused on ensuring that our neediest children have a holiday
meal. Your donation will go towards Shoprite Gift Cards, allowing our children to have a
Thanksgiving or Christmas dinner. Join us in making a difference in the lives of our
community’s most vulnerable families.
