Release your inner Picasso to support Nutley Family Service Bureau!
Our Paint & Sip Virtual Event, was a resounding success! Participants created their own masterpiece based on the famous painting “Love” by Robert Indiana just in time for Valentine’s Day. Special thanks to NFSB Trustee Rob Frannicola who was instrumental in making the fun happen, local artist Krysty Kaufman for donating her time and talent to conduct the event, and to all the NFSB supporters who painted & sipped along.

ANNUAL APPEAL IS NEIGHBORS HELPING NEIGHBORS
Thanks to the ongoing generosity of many, NFSB was able to expand our diverse essential services to the community throughout the challenging circumstances of 2020. Our impact numbers include providing supplemental food security for over 700 individuals; supporting the Nutley Public Schools by helping to distribute over 16,000 meals and facilitating therapeutic groups to improve children's mental health; and additionally, the Psychotherapy Center provided 5,000 remote tele-therapy counseling sessions to over 450 clients. NFSB is very grateful for the kind contributions. Unfortunately, due to the cascading effects of COVID, food insufficiency and mental health issues persist locally. Our neighbors continue to need your help. Please consider a gift to the annual fund in order that we may continue our responsiveness, and know that your tax-deductible donation goes directly to supporting NFSB's mission to strengthen the well-being of individuals and families through affordable mental health counseling and social service programs.

SUPPORT INITIATIVES & FUNDRAISERS
Many in the community have asked how best to help NFSB in this time of crisis. We are most sincerely grateful for all those who wish to support NFSB. However, we kindly ask that all initiatives/fundraisers that are made to benefit NFSB are coordinated through our Executive Director, Katherine Carmichael at 973-542-8276 Ext. 200 or kcarmichael@nutleyfamily.org. Such efforts will ensure that the usage of our name and/or logo is consistent with NFSB policy guidelines and any applicable laws governing non-profit organizations so that NFSB’s non-profit status is not put at risk.
