Parsippany, NJ (PRWEB) May 08, 2013
To celebrate thirty years in business, clients, colleagues and family members of HR Consulting firm, A.J. OConnor Associates (AJO) attended a client appreciation dinner last month. To mark the celebration and recognize AJOs commitment to giving back to its communities in this milestone year, AJO partnered with Caring Capital once again. Dinner guests had fun participating in two activities under the professional guidance of teaching artists from Caring Capital.
Large fleece drawstring pouches were decorated and filled with personal products contributed by a major consumer products client of AJO. These were donated to the Peoples Pantry, which continues to support the needs of 1,500 families in the Toms River area who remain in shelters or the homes of friends and family and still struggle from the impact of Hurricane Sandy.
In addition, guests embellished leaves for a large tree collage. The Tree of Life will adorn the walls at Family Service of Morris County (FSMC), where AJOs President, Andrew OConnor, serves as a member of the Board of Managers. Coincidentally, FSMC is also celebrating a milestone year in 2013.
It was important for us to find a way to celebrate our thirtieth year, while giving back to those less fortunate, observed AJO President, Andy OConnor. We heard that Peoples Pantry needed personal care products and we were very grateful to one of our clients for their immediate response to our request for help. We couldnt have done this without their support.
We were delighted to be part of this celebration, building on our relationship with Andy and his team and demonstrating how easy it is to help neighbors facing tough times, added Susie Schub, President of Caring Capital.
Pat Donahue, Executive Director of the Peoples Pantry commented, We are so grateful to A.J. OConnor Associates for making this happen. Caring Capitals Dream Pouches are not only lovely, they are filled with many items that our families desperately need, like skin cream and first aid kits. Their generous donation even included some do-it-yourself pouch kits to decorate. These will be ideal for the 8 to 12-year-olds who will be participating in our upcoming Art Therapy Program."
Patrice Picard, CEO at Family Service of Morris County, noted, The tree collage is such a beautiful gift, and brings real warmth to our building and smiles to the faces of those who stop by to study it, many of whom are facing challenges. It's also a wonderful symbol of community partnership and we are grateful to AJO for this donation.
