Hi Friends ~ Welcome back from the weekend, which we hope was great for you all! For some still out of work, this is a hard time. That's why it is still so important to offer assistance to those in our local communities who are in need. Our food pantry collection box is the bench in front of our office. If you would like to contribute, simply open the seat of the bench and leave some non-perishable items inside. Currently, there is a need for tomato sauce to go in the bags pasta. We try to assemble bags that provide the basics to make meals... Thanks so much and best wishes from our family to yours!

Food has been coming in and going out. Donations are being dropped off at our office at 219 Valley Blvd in Wood-Ridge, organized and assembled at the Masonic Lodge in Hasbrouck Heights, and distributed to local families and pantries. If you would like to donate, please feel free to drop non-perishable items inside the bench out in front of our Allstate office (just lift the good vibes seat lol). Also and most useful, are gift cards for local restaurants (25$) that offer take out. We drop one in with the food bags, and they provide a family with a good take out meal, while also supporting our local businesses. It's a win win... If you have any questions or requests etc, please don't hesitate to call me at 201-374-7200 extension 311.
I don't get to see many of you who drop and run without saying hi, Thank You!

Hi Friends. Due to our business getting back up to speed, we've been off grid for a time with food collection but, while some are back to work, many still aren't. So if you would like to donate some food items for local families in need, please don't hesitate to bring something by.
As always, we will make sure it gets to local families and pantries who need it. We're open Monday through Friday from 9-6, but after hours, you can still leave something inside the grey bench in front of our Allstate office at 219 Valley Blvd.
Big thanks to all the families, businesses, and organizations who have helped so far!
Also, some have chosen to donate a local restaurant gift card. If that's what you prefer, please do not leave the gift cards in the bin. Give me a quick call or message here and I'll be around to make sure it get's inside right away...
I can be reached at 201-374-7200 extension 311, anytime.
Thanks so much from our Family to Yours!

Planning a trip with much needed supplies for families with children in medical crisis... Please condider donating paper products and cleaning supplies for our delivery to Ronald McDonald House. See the post and contact me if you need more info... Thanks!

Hi Friends, we are collecting much needed paper products and cleaning supplies for families staying at Ronald McDonald House. As you know, RMH houses and supports families who are displaced because they have children who need specialized medical care, far from their homes. One such location is the RMH that services many Shriner's Hospital patients and there is a shortage of paper products and swiffer wet pads like those featured in the photo.. When you go shopping this week, please consider grabbing an extra item or two, to contribute to our collection. You can drop them off in front of our office at 219 Valley Blvd, here in Wood-Ridge. We are there Mon-Fri 9-6, but after hours, there is a bench in front. Open the seat of the bench and drop the donation inside.
Glad to report that the collection for Ronald McDonald House is going well and scheduled to be delivered this week. THANK YOU to all those who kindly donated these much needed supplies. When the load is complete, we will drive the load down in a "Shepherds" patient transport van. The shepherds are Masons/Shriners, who volunteer and drive children and their families in need, free of charge, to and from Shriners Hospitals for Children. We still have some room in the van so please consider dropping off more of the following items, such as paper towels and "swiffer" wet mop pads...
Hello Friends- These colors don’t run. 💪😀 FYI... Our office has been closed to walk-in visitors due to the pandemic surge, and we have brought the food pantry box inside until we are all dug out. We will get it back out there tomorrow for donations and we’ll deliver more food to local banks this week. For now, unfortunately, as clear as the walkway is, we are still walled off by solid plow mountains. Yesterday and today we have been on a skeleton staff and no one is at the office. We thank you for your patience and we are doing the best we can to work remotely. Stay safe and take it slow.
Thanks to all you friends who have been dropping off much needed food supplies for local Families in need. We are continuing a few efforts these coming months which will include, deliveries of collected non-perishable food to the local WR & HH Pantries, and also much needed PPE and cleaning supplies for Ronald McDonald House.
If within your means when shopping, please pick up some extras of these items, (Please no frozen foods or any perishables that require refrigeration) and drop them in the box at our office at 219 Valley Blvd, Wood-Ridge. There is a bench in front of our office. Open up the seat and drop in your donation. I check it frequently and take everything in, to organize and distribute out of our local Masonic Lodge, who also generously supports this work.
Thanks again for the support and for your kind attention. If you have questions or comments, don't hesitate to call me at 201-374-7200, extension 311. Wishing you all the best from our family to yours! ~ Dave Meredith and Family
From food drives to volunteering, each day is a good day to remember that no matter how challenging and dark life gets around us, we can always come together to spread Light and make things a little brighter.
Thanks to PetSmart in Paramus, local friends like Andrew Donaldson from Donald Construction, our local Masonic Lodges including Euclid #136 in Hasbrouck Heights and Eclipse #67 in Rutherford, and local friends like Forrest Elliot from the Rotary, for enabling this good day filled with Hope, Faith and Charity! And thanks to ALL in our community who step up.
Thanks again and Best Wishes from our family to yours!

In honor of Euclid Lodge #136 in Hasbrouck Heights and Eclipse Lodge #67 in Rutherford, Brother Andrew G Donaldson and I made a few stops yesterday with our vans, and transported cases of these little guys to people and places, where they can spread some joy. Shouting out with a big thanks to Pat DeRosa , Ronette, Eric and the folks at PetSmart on Route 17 in Paramus for donating these wonderful stuffed toys. And thanks to RW Tom Roskop for making the introduction.
Some toys went to the Bergen County Animal Shelter where families get one when they adopt a pet. Others went to our friend Forrest Elliot from the local Rotary Club, who will be delivering them to the Children’s Hospital in Hackensack. Some will go to the Shepherds mobile transport volunteers at Salaam Shrine, so they can give one to patients on rides to Shriners Hospital for Children. And we found these cute little guys a few other misc homes so they can spread some Hope, Faith, and Charity.
A good day for all. And a good day to remember that no matter how challenging and dark life gets around us, we can always come together to spread Light and make things a little brighter.
From food drives to volunteering, with good people from West to East, please stay tuned and shout out if you'd like to join us in some more efforts as we travel into the new year. Thanks again to all and Best Wishes!
Thanks Local neighbors for your support in this latest collection for Ronald Macdonald House! :-)

THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH FOR YOUR HELP! I’m happy to report that we made another successful delivery of two vans of much needed supplies and PPE to Ronald McDonald House (RMH).
This particular location in Philadelphia, services many patients and families who receive medical treatment at The Shriners Hospital for Children, but RMH’s are located all over the country where families need support and lodging while far from home receiving specialized medical care.
Lisa, Logan and myself just want to send a big shout out with gratitude to the local community neighbors who dropped off donations at our family business in Wood-Ridge.
We are also very grateful for the generous contributions from Euclid #136 and Eclipse #67.
Also big thanks out to several brother masons from other lodges like Little Falls #154, Adoniram #80, Clifton #203, and more. Your contributions enabled the purchase of a large portion of this delivery.
We would also like to thank the Shriners at Salaam Shrine and their Potentates, both outgoing and incoming, who have been so supportive of this work. Most especially, I would like to thank my fellow ‘Shepherds’, who tirelessly volunteer their time transporting families and child-patients, to and from the various Shriners medical locations. Some of them where instrumental in enabling this effort, and some even made sizable donations.
Pictured with me in this photo is RW Gordon Fleming, president of our Shepherds Patient Transport Unit, who accompanied me on this trip. Gordon gives a tremendous amount of his time managing the volunteers, and also making several patient transports weekly. Gordon, along with several other Shepherd volunteers I have the privilege to know, are shining examples of what it means to better ourselves as Masons and Shriners through “Faith, Hope, and Charity”.
These are mentors to me and many others, helping us to understand what it means when Shriners say,
“NO MAN STANDS SO TALL AS WHEN HE STOOPS TO HELP A CHILD”.
So if you want to contribute to the next collection, starting after the new year and planned to deliver sometime in March, please contact me here for details.
If you know of a child who is treated at Shriners Hospitals, who’s family has no means of transportation, please have them contact the Shepherds at Salaam Shrine at 973-992-1111.
And to any Mason Brothers who wish to get involved as a Shepherd Driver, or one of the many other volunteer roles as a Shriner, please don’t hesitate to call the number above or contact me here for a proper introduction...
Thanks again for your kind and generous support, and Happy Holidays from our family to yours!
Hey there neighbors. LAST CALL for and contributions to Ronald McDonald House... Tonight we are loading up for the trip down to RMH tomorrow morning.

Have a check on your car seat. Is it in place securely? Is your child strapped in properly?

It’s getting cold again, so I’ll be that annoying CPST and post a friendly reminder of how to keep your Littles safe and warm this winter while in their car seats ☺️❄️
