How We Help
The Chester-Mendham Angels are a nonprofit organization dedicated to serving the Chester and Mendham, NJ communities through outreach and fundraising, with a special focus on our more vulnerable residents. We aim to spread love and kindness by engaging local residents in community partnerships and initiatives.
Initiatives
Support for Residents of Chester Area Senior Housing (CASH) and Mendham Area Senior Housing (MASH)
The Chester Mendham Angels volunteers have provided in-kind support to C.A.S.H. through weekly grocery shopping for residents in need. This was an invaluable service to CASH residents, particularly for those without reliable transportation. The Angels are also proud to provide a holiday meal to each facility every year around the winter holidays, bringing love and good cheer to the residents! Occasionally we will partner with a local school to have students create artwork or handmade cards for the residents of CASH and MASH, and our volunteers will hand deliver them along with treats and smiles.
Chester Law Enforcement Against Drugs and Violence (L.E.A.D.) Program fundraiser and recognition award
L.E.A.D. is a school-based K-12 Drug and Prevention Program and a vital component of the Chester and Mendham school districts, led by local law enforcement. The Chester-Mendham Angels were proud to support our local L.E.A.D. program in Chester in 2021 with a community sponsored donation. We also recognized the school resource officers stationed at the schools during COVID for their exemplary service to the community during a challenging time.
Food Drives for the Chester/Mendham Food Pantry
The Chester/Mendham Food Pantry is a lifeline for residents in our communities. The Chester-Mendham Angels hold Food Drives throughout the year to support this beloved and critical community program.
