Project Hope – Baby Essentials Drive – Union County Covid-19 Portal

Residents looking to make a difference during the COVID-19 pandemic are encouraged to help support babies in need within local communities by donating to a non profit organization of their choice, through Union County’s Project Hope.

“Project Hope is an opportunity for everyone in Union County to pitch in and help those who need it the most,” said Freeholder Chairman Alexander Mirabella.

Project Hope is organized by the Union County Office of Community Engagement and Diversity. It provides an online platform for connecting donors with local organizations providing assistance to babies. Donors have the option to either provide a monetary donation directly to the nonprofit of their choosing, or mail items such as diapers, baby formula, and baby wipes directly to the nonprofit, with the addresses provided on the Union County Office of Community Engagement and Diversity.
