Coptic Community Services – 861 Bergen Ave., Jersey City

At first, I thought that the center was small, but went I went inside, I was overwhelmed by the number of people in attendance! The place is huge! As a matter of fact, the Deacon for Public Relations – Deacon Emad Attaalla – told me that they had already served approximately 1,000 people from across Hudson County (the event wasn’t over yet at that time, so he was expecting more). Last year, he said, “only” 650 people attended. Coptic Community Services has been doing this for the past 7 years.

Jimmy King’s Civic Association – St. Paul Church at 440 Hoboken Avenue, Jersey City

The association has been doing this service for the past 11 years, according to Mr. Richard McCormack. The event was not only for the homeless, but also for senior citizens and other people. It started at around 11AM but was already over by 1PM due to high turn out of walk-ins. The association served around 600 people.
