Community resource fair connects families with vital services

Piscataway High School partnered with the Piscataway Education Association to host a successful community resource fair, where they connected families with vital services! Families, educators, public officials, and community organizations came together in the PHS Anthony Commons on Nov. 19 and 20 for two evenings of support, service, and connection.

The fair featured a wide range of community resource partners, including Wellspring Circle, James O. Bryant Food Pantry, Fish Inc., Radiant Church and Radiant Community, Middlesex County Replenish, The Haven, the Piscataway Domestic Violence Crisis Intervention Team, and others. These organizations provided families with information, support services, and access to programs addressing food insecurity, disability supports, crisis intervention, and more, as featured in the fair’s community resource book.

“This fair is about connection, compassion, and partnership,” said PTEA President Joe Toma. “Our educators don’t just work in Piscataway – we live here, raise our families here, and serve our community here. Together, we make Piscataway stronger.”

The PTEA also donated $2,500 each to three local food banks.
