In their ongoing efforts to support local causes, Coccia Realty is collecting school supplies for the Interfaith Food Pantry.

"It may seem odd to think about collecting school supplies at the end of the school year" says Jeffrey Halpern, Vice President-Branch Manager of the realty firm, "however, by collecting the items now and with the deadline of July 20th, kids in need will have what they need in time for the upcoming school year."

Collections will be taking place in one of their five offices in Northern New Jersey with the closest ones in Morris County being 49 Main Street, Madison and 670 Main Road, Montville.

Supplies needed are new backpacks, pens, pencils, erasers, scissors, markers, crayons, etc. These items are necessary for all grade school students but many times are not afforded to them. Every donation will give an underprivileged student the tools necessary for school.

The Interfaith Food Pantry has a satellite office in Morristown has served throughout the state assisting those who can use the help with not just food but also other necessary items, such as this generous school supply drive.

For more information you can contact our Madison office at madison@mycoccia.com or 973.377.4400. The deadline in July 20th.
