This month marks the second year that Councilman Matthew Moench is sponsoring a “holiday drive to benefit the Raritan Pregnancy Aid Center.” 

According to Moench, the Center is an “all-volunteer organization dedicated to helping pregnant women and new mothers in time of need.”

The full explanatory text of this highly beneficial outreach can be seen on the Bridgewater Township web site by clicking here.  It is only a couple of paragraphs long, and it is well worth your time and response during this especially busy holiday season.

The women who are helped by the services of this center are truly in need. 

For example,
your contribution of items such as “diapers, baby wipes, baby wash, diaper rash cream, baby bottles, sippy cups, and Similac formula advanced (blue label)” are some of the basic child care necessities which many of us who are raising or who have raised families have been able to purchase without so much as a second thought.
Other parents are not so fortunate.

This center helps moms not only in Raritan and Bridgewater, but in surrounding communities.

Donations are gratefully being accepted at the Bridgewater Township Clerk’s office through December 27^th.

If you have questions, please direct them to MMoench@bridgewaternj.gov or to Township Clerk Linda Doyle at bwtclerk@bridgewaternj.gov.

Thanks for reading.  Enjoy your weekend, and beware of the kooks on the road at this time of the year.
