hear from our supporters
Dear Zara,
​
I want to let you know how much we appreciate your recent donation of $820.00. Your contribution will provide food security for thousands of Morris County residents who rely on us to put enough food on the table to keep themselves and their families healthy!
In the first three months of 2023 we have already distributed over 500,000 pounds of food during close to 10,000 household visits. Our new clients – over 300 households enrolled since January - are struggling with rising costs of food and for many, decreases in emergency SNAP allotments that were in place during the pandemic. While the emergency relief has come to an end, inflation is placing the same level of demand on the IFPN.
​
Yet thanks to you, our neighbors can be assured that there is a safe and comforting place to turn to during their time of need. Thank you for making a difference!
​
Very truly yours,
Carolyn Lake
Executive Director, Interfaith Food Pantry
Dear Zara,
​
Your exquisitely hand-painted Thanksgiving card perfectly matched our decor and added the much-needed personal touch to our 2020 Thanksgiving Table. I am so impressed and proud that you are using your creative talents for a meaningful endeavor. The satisfaction of using a product which not only enhanced our table décor but more importantly impacted someone’s lif is gratifying. I recognize each card that I buy will fill the emptiness caused by hunger with food, help and hope.

In 2021, Zara focused her talent to help provide support for IFPN, a very valuable service organization. Over the summer, Zara spent approximately seven hours a week to create and design assorted cards, which resulted in a $500 donation to the Interfaith Food Pantry
​
Thank you, Zara!

Zara's cards are remarkably beautiful and are made with care and precision. I am so impressed by the detail and passion that she puts into each one of her cards. Zara has so much artistic talent and it is so good of her to combine that talent with her kind, generous spirit. I highly recommend Zara's cards for birthdays, thank you cards or any other occasion, for you will not get this high level of quality anywhere else. Thank you for this Zara!

Every astonishingly beautiful and personalized card that I have received from Zara never failed to bring a smile to my face, and I am sure they will do the same for you and your loved ones! The amount of effort that Zara puts into handcrafting these stunning cards is remarkable, and her generosity in using her talent to help the people who are most in need is truly incredible. To Zara - thank you for always doing your best to make the world a better place!

At the Red Oaks School, we foster a culture of service to our community. Our IB program promotes Service Learning, where the students extend their interest and talent to benefit their community. Zara is a model service learner in our school. Zara
has created magnificent birthday and thank you cards that express her artistic creativity and her gentle and giving spirit. She has donated the proceeds from the sale of her cards to the Interfaith Food Pantry and had donated her cards to their fundraising gala. Now, she has created this amazing website for wider exposure and access to her cards. Her teachers at ROS are watching her initiative with great admiration, and I am so proud that a conversation about the ways to help the IFP evolved into this beautiful enterprise!
