KOSTER The Social Service Association of Ridgewood and vicinity is seeking donations to send needy children to camp.

In many cases, the working parents in these families are unable to afford child care or provide any recreational opportunities to their children when school is out. For over 40 years, SSA has provided camperships for boys and girls who would not otherwise have the opportunity to attend day camp. Association seeks donations SSA provides basic supplemental financial assistance and case management services to individuals in Ridgewood, Glen Rock, Ho-Ho-Kus, Midland Park, Waldwick, and Wyckoff.
