On one of the snowiest days of a snowy season, volunteers from the Northern New Jersey Business Volunteer Council (BVC) served up a hearty chili-and-cornbread lunch to 200 Bergen County residents who are homeless. The lunch was part of the County’s Project Homeless Connect, an annual outreach program to provide access to resources and support to persons currently experiencing homelessness. The event was held at the Bergen County Community Action Partnership Drop-InCenter in Hackensack.Volunteers, as well as financial support for the lunch, were provided by Fabulous Foods, Hunter Douglas, Quest Diagnostics, United Water, Hudson City Savings Bank, and The Buckingham at Norwood.
