KEARNY – For the fifth consecutive year, the Kearny Federal Charitable Foundation has granted the Salvation Army of Greater Kearny with $10,000. Kearny Federal partnered with the Salvation Army in an effort to raise much-needed funds to support local families and individuals 365 days a year. The grant will specifically be used to continue the Salvation Army’s mission of helping the youth of the Greater Kearny area, including after school programs for grades 7 through 12.

On a state level, The Salvation Army helps over 360,000 New Jersey residents annually. On a very local level, The Salvation Army of Greater Kearny developed an After School Program, a Food Pantry, a Community Computer Lab, an ESL Program, and a night for teens called “Open Door on Wednesday Night” in their region.
