The Community Chest History Exhibit: The Community Chest, a nonprofit, tax-exempt organization serving eastern Bergen County, continues its 85th anniversary celebration with a special history exhibition spanning over eight decades of making a difference in the community. The exhibit will be on display from Thursday, September 6th through Friday, September 28th at the Englewood Library, 31 Engle Street, Englewood, New Jersey.
An Open House launches the exhibition at the library on Thursday, September 6, 2018 from 6:30 pm to 8:00 pm. The public is invited to attend this free event. Light refreshments will be served.
This unique exhibition highlights The Community Chest’s lengthy involvement and work in the area with a display of photos and historical documents charting the nonprofit organization’s founding 85 years ago. This project is sponsored in partnership with the Englewood Historical Society and the Englewood Public Library.
“We enjoyed discovering the history of The Community Chest since its inception. Interesting letters were found from 1932 of recorded conversations among people, who had ideas to create a community chest, asking Elizabeth Cutter Morrow to lead the organization. Other documents showed the process the founders used to research the needs in the area by surveying the service agencies to determine if a community chest would be helpful,” said Dr. Shelly Wimpfheimer, Executive Director of The Community Chest.
