Operation Jersey Cares | Washingtonbid

November 11th- December 22nd, 2023

Starting on Veterans’ Day, Washington Borough is launching a community-wide effort to collect items for care packages for servicemen and women stationed abroad. Spearheaded by the Washington Borough Business Improvement District and in partnership with Operation Jersey Cares, businesses and organizations throughout downtown Washington are collecting donations of non-perishable food items and miscellaneous goods. Through Christmas, individuals can donate items in collection boxes at participating locations across Washington Borough which we will donate to Operation New Jersey Cares to send to our troops.

Jersey Cares Donation Box Locations

Thank you to all of our Jersey Cares box host locations for 2022! We have picked up most of the boxes for this year and will be delivering them directly to the Jersey Cares location. We also want to thank all of the folks who donated to project, we wouldn't be able to deliver so many boxes without the generosity of all those who dropped off items. Operation Jersey Cares accepts donations at their Somerville facility all year long. You can also always make a monetary donation to Jersey Cares on their website at the link above. Thank you for all the support and keep an eye out for the 2023 boxes coming later in the year!
