Evening Under the Stars

After a two-year hiatus, York Street Project's Evening Under the Stars returned with a record-breaking crowd. On June 15, some 400 guests gathered on the Jersey City street for a beautiful summer night of fun. The event featured food and drinks from several local restaurants, live music and games.

Participants wore wristbands with different notes on them, such as 'covers one day of daycare' or 'houses a family for one night,' reflecting an image of the real impact this fundraiser has on the families York Street Project serves. The mothers who live at York Street were also able to relax and enjoy the evening thanks to a group of volunteer high schoolers who babysat the children during the event. And thanks to a generous donation for a local pizzeria, the kids enjoyed a special treat of their own party.
