          Morristown, NJ. There is no greater feeling
          of joy than to help those in need, especially
          during the Holiday Season. Marilyn & Will Cofnuk
          were happy to help the Interfaith Pantry of
          Morristown. The Church of Notre Dame, located
          in Cedar Knolls, NJ does a collection for the
          Interfaith Pantry once a month. The Interfaith
          Food Pantry is a Non-Denominational, Non-Profit
          organization helping Morris County families
          make ends meet by supplementing their monthly
          groceries needs. Thanks to the GCU GoGive!
          Program, we were able to donate basic pantry
          items that would help those in need.
