[northjersey.com] St. Peter’s Episcopal Church, St. Catherine’s Catholic Church and King of Kings Lutheran Church Mountain Lakes, Community Church of Mountain Lakes, and St. John’s Episcopal Church in Boonton have joined forces to collect diapers, formula and other items for infants living in poor and low-income families.

This was the second annual North Porch "Plus One" campaign which encourages all parishioners to add just one needed item to their grocery list. The campaign was launched last year by Morris Plains resident Dicki Lulay, a North Porch Board of Trustees member. North Porch Women & Infants’ Centers provide emergency aid, in the form of baby supplies to mothers and infants in northern New Jersey, to help them stabilize and improve the quality of their lives. North Porch has centers in Newark, Paterson and Dover as well as satellite centers in Wharton and Hackettstown.

Incorporated by the Episcopal Church Women of the Diocese of Newark, North Porch became a 501(c) 3 organization in 1984 to attract funding from secular groups, granting agencies and individual donors.
