Englewood Foundation Donates Art Supplies To Teaneck Creek Conservancy

ENGLEWOOD, NJ — The Northern New Jersey Community Foundation collected and donated children's art supplies to the Teaneck Creek Conservancy recently.

The supplies were connected to the ArtsBergen initiative's second Connect the Dots networking event.

The conservancy will use the supplies in their children's art and science programs.

"With this donation of supplies, we will be able to host more programs and serve more of our Bergen County Community," said Alexa Marques, the conservancy's executive director. "The Conservancy is very appreciative of Northern New Jersey Community Foundation's support of our eco-art focused mission during Earth Week."

"The donation is in line with the foundation's mission to promote cooperation and civic engagement in the community to address pressing issues and concerns," said Michael Shannon, the foundation's president.
