CFA Gets $2,000 from Ribbons
The Center
for Food Action (CFA) received a check on February 17, 2006 for $2,000 during a brief
ceremony at Bill O’Shea’s Florist , 231 Boulevard, Hasbrouck Heights.
This donation was the result of
hundreds of bright red ribbons decorating the Boulevard in Hasbrouck Heights and
Wood-Ridge during this recent holiday season.
Area residents donated $10 to the
Center For Food Action. Bill O’Shea’s Florist provided a beautiful red ribbon
with the contributor’s name on it. Contributors who donated $50 received embellished
ribbons.
The ribbons were placed on every
tree and telephone pole along the Boulevard in Hasbrouck Heights (from Route 46 to
Wood-Ridge), by Knights of Columbus Msgr. Fitzpatrick Council 7041, and in Wood-Ridge (from
Hasbrouck Heights to Carlstadt), by Knights of Columbus St. Anthony Council 11585. The
ribbons are removed after Valentine’s Day.
The Center For Food Action is a
non-profit food center that has served our area’s needy since 1976. CFA always
welcomes donations of basic non-perishable food items such as juice, cereal, canned goods,
pasta, baby food, etc.
The ribbons were generously
donated by Harvey Jaffe of Designer Dispatch Ribbon and Floral Accessories.
