Community service rewards everyone.
It’s fun to raise funds with friends.
We enjoy greeting everyone at our Strawberry, Peach and Apple Festivals at the Farmers’ Market, and at our Ramsey Day booth, and we sell our popular Flower Power crafts at all those events. We’re happy that for 21 years local gardeners have found their favorites veggies and herbs at our May Heirloom Tomato & Vegetable Plant Sale. And we’re especially pleased that our popular What’s What In Ramsey booklet has become a valued resource for town residents.
Supporting Ramsey is a time-honored tradition.
Ramsey’s Veterans Park, Library, Historical Society, Ambulance Corps, Fire Department and High School Scholarship Program have all received our help. On Memorial Day and Veterans Day we honor those who served our country. We award scholarships to high school seniors, and pay prom expenses for a deserving girl recommended by the high school. And, at every meeting we bring food and household items for St. Paul’s Food Pantry.
Our community projects include:
Ramsey Volunteer Ambulance Corps
Ramsey Free Public Library
Ramsey High School Prom Girl Program
Ramsey High School Scholarship Program
Ramsey Responds
St. Paul’s Food Pantry
Tommy Strong Foundation
We presented a check to the Ramsey Volunteer Ambulance Corps.
The Ramsey Volunteer Fire Department turned out to thank us for our donation.
Federation projects make an impact in the nation and in the world.
Our NJSFWC Special State Project for 2022-2024 is Emanuel Cancer Foundation, which provides New Jersey families facing the crisis of pediatric cancer a place to turn for comfort and support through free professional in-home counseling and assistance.
