Help Make Our Summer Programs Happen!
The Alliance sends its hearty thanks for the many generous donations that allowed us to win approval at the "Unlock The Reservoir Rally," but, to run our Summer Program and keep those gates open every Saturday until October we need your help. Although we are a volunteer organization, our expenses – insurance, promotion, supplies - will be much higher this year.
Your donation or help raising funds will allow hundreds of kids to interact with nature and history, provide scores of seniors with a respite from the hustle and bustle of the city, provide families with a beautiful spot to enjoy in their neighborhood, and give everyone the chance to fish, boat, and enjoy the lake, meadows and trees of our Hidden Jewel.
Your tax-deductible donation will go through Jersey City Landmarks Conservancy Inc, a founding member of the Reservoir Alliance. Any donation you make through this website will be dedicated to the fight to preserve Jersey City's Reservoir #3, its historic structures, and natural resources.
If you prefer, you can also write a check to:
Jersey City Landmarks Conservancy Inc
and mail it to:
Jersey City Reservoir Preservation Alliance
Box 7833
Jersey City, NJ 07307-0833
Thank you for your help!
