Stop Warehouses & Trucks

Are you new or haven't donated yet?
We are very much in need of new funds to support the fight, so please tell your friends and neighbors to donate to the cause:
1. SWAT General -- this fund covers general expenses for SWAT, like signs, publicity, website, etc., and any other expenses that are agreed that will benefit the general cause against warehouses in Hillsborough. We can decide as a team whether a proposed expense meets this criteria.
2. SWAT 203 Homestead -- this fund covers expenses that specifically benefit the opposition to the Homestead LLC application. This could include hiring an attorney, experts, etc. Again, we can decide as a team whether a proposed expense meets this criteria.
Please donate to the cause! This is an investment to protect your investment!
You can make your checks payable to "SWAT," and forward them to Suzanne Ochse (425 Willow Road, Hillsborough, NJ) or bring them to a Planning Board meeting. (Donations are NOT deductible from your taxes.)
