Bergen County Habitat for Humanity has been receiving many
requests for children's desks as more students are learning virtually. To meet
the demands, the organization created a program where volunteers build desks
for those in need.
So far, 10 desks have been given to families and 10-12 new
desks are expected to be produced and distributed each month.
A group of retired men, dubbed The Grey Heads, built the
desks. The next 10 desks are going to students in Hackensack.
The goal of the program is to provide desks for all
students who need one in the county.
Habitat for Humanity is asking for donors to help by
providing donations in the form of cash, chairs or supplies.
The desks are free for the students. The program is
expected to continue as long as there's a need.
