The Neighborhood Center for Women in Passaic is guided by the belief that when women are empowered, the family is strengthened. It has helped many young mothers over the years. Its diaper bank has assisted struggling mothers to receive diapers. They often have sacrificed when they have to make a choice between diapers or food for their children. The diaper bank success is due to the generosity of so many around the Diocese and other benefactors. In addition, with the help of several volunteers its English classes have been especially popular and helpful for the moms, many whose first language is Spanish, to communicate with teachers at their children schools. Since its opening in 2013, women have made close to 15,000 visits to the center for assistance.
For women who are pregnant? This Morris County Right to Life link has many resources where women can go to make the choice of life. It is on the frontline meeting these women, whom the Church is calling all the faithful to help, as they do their peaceful prayer vigils outside of Planned Parenthood clinics. The group offers to send these vulnerable women to First Choice in Morristown providing information, counseling and offering ultrasounds.
