This fundraiser supports the NJ Firemen’s Home located in Boonton, NJ, which serves as a residence for 80 career and volunteer firefighters. The home offers essential care for residents who require assistance due to age, special needs, or lack of family support. The NJ firemen’s home also includes a small museum displaying equipment, photos, and memorabilia from around the entire state.

During May, FMBA 21 set up collection points at all Clifton fire stations to gather non-perishable foods for St. Peter’s Haven. Thank you Brother Steve Turi for arranging this fundraiser.
Founded in 1986 as a ministry of St. Peter’s Episcopal Church in Clifton, Saint Peter’s Haven is a non-sectarian 501(c)(3) charitable organization dedicated to feeding the hungry and aiding the homeless.
Saint Peter’s Haven offers services focused on supplemental food assistance, transitional housing, and casework services, helping families maintain a sense of normalcy and empowerment as they navigate challenging times. We collaborate with other social services to ensure families receive all available benefits, including veteran benefits, housing and food subsidies, and cash assistance.
Our FMBA 21 Tank Pull team for 2024 made a strong showing today, demonstrating our commitment to supporting this annual event and our veterans. With pride, we unveiled our new tent, a valuable addition for our future community engagements. Heartfelt thanks to everyone who joined us, engaging in conversations and showing their support. The Tank Pull Challenge symbolizes resilience, pushing participants to defy the odds by moving an 80,000-pound tank on a flatbed truck. It’s a rallying cry to embrace the challenge and conquer the seemingly impossible. Participation in this competition not only honors our veterans, especially those wounded in combat, but also ensures their sacrifices are remembered and respected.
Today, Clifton FMBA 21 and Clifton PBA 36 joined forces with Kim Castellano of Power of One Ministries to prepare a delicious meal for the senior citizens at Evergreen Manor, situated at 50 Sade Street. The event was a resounding success, with all seniors thoroughly enjoying both the food and the camaraderie of Clifton’s dedicated police officers and firefighters.
Power of One is a 501(c)(3) public charity with a mission to support seniors, veterans, the disabled, and families with children. Our team is dedicated to combating poverty through initiatives such as Personal Development programs, Wellness Workshops, and the provision of valuable resources aimed at empowering families and individuals toward self-sufficiency.

FMBA 21 extends our heartfelt gratitude to each and every one of you who generously contributed to our Toys for Tots fundraiser. Your kindness and generosity have made a significant impact on the lives of children in need during this holiday season. Donated toys gathered from our six fire stations have been transported and are now being distributed to families in need through the Boys and Girls Club. Thanks to your donations, we were able to collect a remarkable number of toys that will bring joy and smiles to the faces of countless children.
