This year we donated our Paint & Sip night funds to
​The Hands of Hope Food Pantry in Edison and Camp Jinka in Southern NJ.


Camp Jinka is a free summer program for kids and teens whose lives have been impacted by loss.  Children attending camp have a parent who is battling an illness or has passed away.  This unique camp offers creative indoor and outdoor activities while encouraging expression and connection with others having a similar life experience.

For ten years Camp Jinka has focused on children whose parents were diagnosed or passed from a brain tumor and other cancers.  We have expanded to include children who have a chronically ill parent or a deceased parent from other diseases, sudden death, drug overdose, suicide, mental illness, active military duty or violent crime.

​Below are pictures from
