Pass It Along creates, manages, and leads the area's largest single day of hands-on service, the annual Serve-A-Thon. On this day, hundreds of individuals and businesses join together to complete large scale service projects that benefit local nonprofits as well as small scale service projects to help individuals such as senior citizens. Season of Hope is another large scale program that Pass It Along created and manages each year. This program encompasses our Holiday Toy Shop, our Christmas Around the County (CAC) event and our Christmas in the City (CIC) event. It begins with the scheduling of volunteers to deliver Thanksgiving meals to homebound seniors and the collection and distribution of Thanksgiving baskets that provide families with a complete meal. Also included in our Season of Hope initiative is our Note in a Coat program, a gently used coat drive, and our annual toy drive, where new toys are collected for the Holiday Toy Shop. This Holiday Toy Shop provides a way to assist families in Sussex County with gifts and CIC is a program that brings new toys to children in need within the Newark Public School system. Our Community Partners:Pass It Along partners with social service organizations, schools (through our high school chapters), and churches in various ways throughout the year. Our staff works with each organization to identify its most pressing needs and then creates and manages a project or series of projects that allow Pass It Along volunteers to meet those needs. The projects are led by trained Pass It Along Project Leaders and are staffed by Pass It Along volunteers.
