BERGENPAC COLLECTING TOYS FOR CHILDREN IN NEED

bergenPAC Toy Drive

bergenPAC, located at 30 N Van Brunt Street in Englewood NJ is collecting toys for the Englewood Fire Deparment’s annual toy drive from November 3 until December 15th.

Bergen Performing Arts Center in conjunction with Englewood Firefighters Local 3260 and Fire Officers Local 3263, will collect TOYS for local children in need. Drop off toys at bergenPAC if you are in the neighborhood or coming to a show.

“When we started the drive 10 years ago, we served only a few families. Now it’s a city-wide effort that helps over 250 families”, said Lieutenant Ray Rodriguez of the Englewood Fire Department. “It’s a really special feeling to put a smile on a child’s face.”

As a leader in community support, bergenPAC is proud to participate in this annual event. bergenPAC provides arts programming to 30,000 schoolchildren annually to underserved students that have lost their school arts funding.

“Giving joy to our local children is an important part of what we do at bergenPAC,” said Dominic Roncace, bergenPAC CEO. “Whether it’s through the toy drive, our Performing Arts School scholarship program, or for providing school arts programming, it is our priority to continue outreach to the local community.”

Toys will be distributed on December 18th at a local Englewood Public School with age appropriate wrapped and packaged gifts, arts and crafts, and snack.
