The Borough of East Newark invites residents to participate in this year’s Annual Toy Drive, dedicated to the memory of the late Eddie Negron. Eddie, was a cherished member of the East Newark community, who served both the police and fire departments. The Borough website says he “exemplified compassion and community spirit.
