What an incredible night!

This past Saturday, we kicked off our 10th year with our very first Weekend Bag Program Wine Bottle Bingo Fundraiser at the Stanhope Firehouse, and it was an amazing success!

Thank you to everyone who came out to support our mission. You were such a fun, energetic group and helped make the evening truly special.

Our laundry detergent door prize collection exceeded all expectations—we collected over 120 containers of laundry soap! This generosity will make a real difference for the students and families we serve.

A huge shoutout to Craig for emceeing the event. We couldn’t have asked for a better host! You kept the energy high, the crowd engaged, and the laughs coming all night long. Everyone loved you—thank you, Craig!

Thank you to Kelly and Sam for all of your hard work and support. This event would not have been possible without you both.

A very special thank you to Mike for generously donating the Stanhope Firehouse for our event. It was the perfect venue. As a first-time event organizer, I truly appreciated your guidance, suggestions, and hands-on help before and throughout the evening. Your support meant so much.

From the bottom of our hearts, thank you to everyone who attended, donated, volunteered, sponsored, and supported this event. Because of what was raised, more than 100 students will receive a Weekend Bag filled with food and essential hygiene items.

A special thank you to Weekend Bag Program President, Magdalen, for sharing the story of how the organization began and the incredible growth we’ve experienced over the past 10 years. Your passion and dedication continue to inspire all of us.

Thank you as well to our Youth Volunteer Leader, Abbie, a freshman at Sparta High School, for sharing your experience as a Weekend Bag Program volunteer and your journey to becoming one of our youth leaders. You are a wonderful example of the impact young people can have when given the opportunity to serve, lead, and make a difference in their community.

What a wonderful way to kick off our 10th year of serving children throughout Sussex County and beyond. We are incredibly grateful and already looking forward to the next one! ❤️🎉🍷

One Weekend Bag at a Time.

Stay tuned for our next Wine Bottle Bingo date… coming soon 🙂

Thank You Mrs. Nowaczyk, Mrs. Weatherwalks, the Green Hills Student Council, and all the students for hosting a Floor Hockey Tournament this past Friday after school to collect items for The Weekend Bag Program and support our mission!

This is another amazing example of how incredible kids can be when given the chance, opportunity, and support. They come up with creative and fun ways to help others while getting even more students involved. That kind of kindness and community spirit is contagious — and we absolutely love seeing it!

Thank you, Green Hills School Community, for your support and for making a difference! ❤️
