Family Fun Nights in Newton


Sussex County families are invited to play together at bi-monthly Family Fun Nights at Project Self-Sufficiency.  Children and parents can enjoy classic family movies, craft projects, games, activities and refreshments.  Family Fun Nights are offered on Thursdays, from 5:30 – 7:30 p.m. on alternate weeks, from March 1st – June 21st.  The Family Fun Nights, which are sponsored by the Family Success Center at Project Self-Sufficiency, are free and open to the public, but space is limited and registration is required.

“These Family Fun Nights give parents and their children the opportunity to enjoy each other’s company in a fun and safe environment,” noted Deborah Berry-Toon, Executive Director of Project Self-Sufficiency.  “The Parent Advisory Board of the Family Success Center has been instrumental in creating these activities for local families, and we are grateful for their support.”

The Family Fun Nights at Project Self-Sufficiency are funded by a grant from the New Jersey Department of Children & Families.  Project Self-Sufficiency is a private non-profit community-based organization dedicated to improving the lives of low-income families residing in northwestern New Jersey.  The agency’s mission is to provide a broad spectrum of holistic, respectful, and comprehensive services enabling low-income single parents, teen parents, two-parent families, and displaced homemakers to improve their lives and the lives of their children through the achievement of personal and economic self-sufficiency and family stability.  Since 1986 Project Self-Sufficiency has served more than 19,500 families, including over 30,000 children. 

To register for the Family Fun Nights, or to find out about any of the other programs and services at Project Self-Sufficiency, call 973-940-3500.
