New Milford Woman Plans Clothing Drive To Help Flood Affected Towns

Donna Colucci organizes clothing drive for residents of Little Ferry, Moonachie and Carlstadt who have been displaced by Sandy.

New Milford resident Donna Colucci, wife of Councilman Dominic Colucci, is organizing a clothing drive to assist those residents of Little Ferry, Moonachie and Carlstadt who were displaced from their homes when the levee broke on the Hackensack River Monday evening.

"Seeing pictures of what these poor people are going through--what they lost--I just had to do something," Colucci said.

Colucci is no stranger to organizing events to help others. Last year she received an honor from Gov. Chris Christie recognizing her efforts in organizing "Labor Day of Love," a town-wide barbecue that took place just days after the floods of Irene.
