For the past several years, New Jersey Key Club has worked closely with the Eliminate Project. While this partnership will continue, a new district project has been chosen. For the 2015-2016 service year The New Jersey Federation of Food Banks has been chosen as the district project. With this partnerships, Key Club hopes to raise awareness about hunger and poverty right here in New Jersey. Few people realize that 1 in 8 people in New Jersey are affected by hunger. The district’s fundraising goal is $90,077.85 which will be used to combat this issue.

A Letter From The PresidentHey everyone! I'm Melinda, your Key Club president. I'm really excited for a whole new year of service with you all! We have a lot of events coming up, and with so many of us, I know that we can help make each event a success. Don't hesitate to reach out to any board member or chairperson if you have any questions regarding the details of an event, past experiences at events, or any other concerns. You can check out the website for a lot of useful information as well. Oh, and one more thing - this year, we're going to do something different/fun at each meeting, so make sure to attend (hopefully more than once a month). Thank you for joining Key Club!

Yours in Caring and Service, Melinda Hu

In December of last year our club volunteered at the Community Food Bank in Hillside.
