May 2nd – Connect for Community Outstanding Partnership Award
Connect for Community, based out of Sparta, provides food and toiletries to food pantries, soup kitchens, and social service agencies. Throughout the year, they support numerous causes including Catholic Charities' Father English Center, Hope House, and Partnership for Social Services Family Center. “This year's recipients, Carlos Roldan and Sister Maureen Sullivan, from the Father English Food Pantry and Catholic Family and Community Services in Paterson, make us better than we could ever been on our own,” said Suzanne Stigers, Executive Director. Carlos and Sr. Maureen were honored for their lifetime of service to the poor.
