Kearny VOICE
The Kearny VOICE (Veteran, Outreach, Information, Community, Education) is an outreach organization, sponsored by the Kearny American Legion Post 99, serving all veterans, active/ reserve military personnel & their families in the West Hudson area and beyond. The Kearny VOICE is committed to provide the veteran and military community access to the existing local, state and federal resources involving Benefits, Housing, Education & Training Opportunities, Employment, and Physical & Behavioral Health Care.
Veterans Closet
Post 99, in conjunction with Catholic Charities of the Archdiocese of Newark, sponsors the Veterans Clothing Closet. Veterans, both men and women, are welcome to visit — by appointment – and select whatever garments they desire. A prime focus is on business attire, to better ready a job applicant for that all-important hiring interview, but casual clothing is also available.
All clothing donations are made via appointment. Veterans must also make an appointment through Catholic Charities, not the Post, in order to visit the Closet, since it is staffed by volunteers. (Don’t worry. They’ll find time for you.)
Personal hygiene products and small household items also can be donated.
To make donations, or schedule a visit, contact Carl Perry at 973-592-1393 or email .
