Summer is right around the corner, and the Eddie Gray Camp Committee is again hoping to raise enough funds to send 500 children to summer camps around New Jersey. The children are selected by local agencies in Elizabeth that serve low income families.
This year, the scholarships will cost us $100 per child. We are appealing to all our former donors to sponsor a child for $100 or to send any donation within your means towards a scholarship. Every donation helps and is greatly appreciated!
Because of your great generosity last year, we were able to meet our quota and the children were able to enjoy a wonderful camp experience! Thank you so much!!
If you are able to help, please send your donation to:
The Eddie Gray Camp Fund
c/o St Joseph Social Service Center
118 Division Street
Elizabeth, N.J. 07201
Please make all checks out to: Eddie Gray Camp Fund and please be sure to include your name and address so we can acknowledge your donation and update our records.
Thank you and may God bless you for your generosity!!

When the song of the angels is stilled,
When the star in the sky is gone,
When the kings and princes are home,
When the shepherds are back with their flocks,
The work of Christmas begins:
To find the lost
To heal the broken
To feed the hungry
To shelter the homeless
To release the prisoner
To rebuild the nations
To bring peace among people
To make music in the heart.
We, at St Joseph
Social Service
Center
thank you for helping
us to
continue
"the work of
Christmas"
all year!"
