Carol Tiesi, president of the Kiwanis Club of Greater Parsippany, said, “When I became president in October, one of the things I did was to partner with Key Club to achieve our goal of collecting food for those in need. We started in Parsippany and plan to continue collecting as much food as we need next year.” Key Club is made up of hard-working high school students who are passionate about serving their homes, schools and communities. We strive to make the world a better place through service and compassion.
Susan Slaughter and Nicholas Limanoff collect food at ShopRite and donate it to the Parsippany Food Pantry.
