APN Adequate Welfare Grants Campaign
Summary of Campaign:
The Anti-Poverty Network has mobilized efforts to provide more adequate support for New Jersey's poorest children and adults: those participating in the state welfare program. Grants remain at the very low levels at which they were set in 1987, and individuals and families need more to survive and to move toward self-supporting work.
The APN Adequate Welfare Grants Campaign offers informational materials and asks all concerned individuals and organizations to participate in our efforts to gather 10,000 "greeting cards" urging a grant increase, which will be distributed to New Jersey legislators.
To participate, follow the 3 easy steps below!
