CoFiA has been invited to participate again this year in the weekly lunch program offered on Tuesdays during cold weather at the First Presbyterian Church on W. Palisades Boulevard in Palisades Park. We will be making a monthly financial donation this year instead of contributing food–there was always plenty of food in the past.
Pastor Daniel Lee has encouraged us to present programs to the workers during the lunch time. Several Spanish-speaking CoFiA members will offer presentations similar to those provided last year–introduction to CoFiA and its work; how to adapt to life in the United States, including appropriate behavior on the streets, in restaurants, and the like; what to do if you experience wage theft and how CoFiA can help; and more.
We will begin our participation on Tuesday, November 20. Anyone who is interested is welcome to join us about 12 noon in the social hall next to the kitchen (not the dining room) where we will discuss current CoFiA activities and make plans for upcoming presentations to the workers. There will also be a clothing distribution, organized by Carolyn Sobering. Donations of clothing can be dropped off at the Leonia Public Library.
