BASKING RIDGE, NJ (September 5, 2013) — In conjunction with the United Way of Northern NJ, Affinity Federal Credit Union Foundation, a 501(c)(3) charity corporation, participated in a “Stuff the Bus” campaign to collect hundreds of school supplies for financially strapped Somerset and Morris County families.
