We hope our members & friends are staying safe & well amid the challenging times we are all facing due to the COVID-19 Pandemic. Earlier this month, we set up a COVID-19 Community Relief Donation Drive. Monies raised go toward purchases of needed items to be donated to the brave frontline heroes in our community. Click HERE to see a letter from our chapter president, Laura Lee.

Thank you to our chapter's members & friends who have generously donated to this cause! We are truly grateful for your support & generosity! So far, our COVID-19 Community Relief Effort committee has made drop-offs to 4 hospitals in some of the hardest hit areas in NJ.

We are continuing to work on finding hospitals to donate needed items to & expanding to include "Food Pantries" & "Senior Homes" in our area that are impacted by the coronavirus pandemic. Please donate to this effort if you haven't already done so. If you would like to mail in your donation, please make checks payable to: OCA-NJ Chapter
Mail to: OCA-NJ Chapter, COVID-19 Community Relief Effort, 2 Heather Court, Dover, NJ 07801.
