Are you looking for a fun and fulfilling way to get involved in your local community? Do you want to apply your unique talents towards a project that helps others? We just started Hoboken Girl Helps, but in the meantime, we have another volunteer opp you should definitely check out: The Hoboken Green Team.
The Hoboken Green Team, a city organization made up of local volunteers, is looking for new members. The Green Team is a perfect fit for go-getters who want to dream up and pitch a community project — and then work with a team to see it through from start to finish.
If you haven’t heard of the Hoboken Green Team, you’ve definitely encountered their work; this is the group behind the Storm Drain Mural Project that invited local students to paint environmentally-themed murals around the city’s storm drains to raise awareness about pollution {don’t worry—they used eco-friendly, non-toxic paint!}.
Green teams all around New Jersey focus on completing “actions” for Sustainable Jersey, a nonprofit organization that encourages communities to implement sustainability programs. Even though the name “Green Team” suggests the group is focused exclusively on environmental initiatives, Sustainable Jersey also includes a variety of “action” categories that fall within the Green Team’s purview {for example, Arts and Creative Culture, Diversity and Equity, and Public Information and Engagement}.
The commitment is totally manageable:
Green Team members attend one meeting per month {held on Monday evenings at 6:30 pm} and volunteer to join or develop a project that interests them.
Two current projects developed by Green Team members include the Green Business Recognition Program, a program that recognizes local businesses for environmentally responsible practices, and #WellnessWednesdays, a monthly series of free workshops on health and wellness held at the Hoboken Public Library. {Fun fact: Our HG contributor and Green Team member, Lauren Zucker, developed the Wellness Wednesdays educational series!}

If you’re interested in joining or learning more about the Green Team, email the coordinator, Jennifer Gonzalez {[email protected]}.

Meal Delivery Service Feast & Fettle Launches in Hudson County
This article is sponsored by Feast & Fettle.
There’s nothing like a delicious dinner at the end of a long day, and a new meal prep delivery service is changing that — which just launched in Hoboken + Jersey City, and Hudson County as a whole. Feast & Fettle officially launched in Hudson County, delivering fresh, chef-prepared meals straight to Hoboken, Jersey City, and beyond. With a rotating menu and locally sourced ingredients, Feast & Fettle keeps true to its name (and we’re loving it so far). Keep reading to learn more about this North Jersey meal prep service and how you can snag an exclusive offer below.
The Details
Feast & Fettle is a food delivery service with a rotating menu of chef-prepared meals. Every dish is made from scratch using fresh, locally sourced ingredients — and delivered to your door with no chopping, mixing, or sautéeing required.
The menu pretty much caters to every craving and dietary preference. From seared steaks and pasta dishes to vegan bowls and fresh seafood, Feast & Fettle has something for everyone (all of it good and good for you). Some of our favorites include the chicken pot pie, fettuccine with broccoli and cauliflower alfredo, roasted vegetables, and quinoa salad with vegan pesto. And, all meals are delivered FRESH (never frozen).
In addition to dinner entrees and sides, there's also a selection of breakfast, lunch, kids' items, and juices. Like we said: something for everyone.
How it Works
Feast & Fettle isn’t your average meal delivery service — and as of this week, it’s officially available to Hudson County residents. Members personalize their plans based on how many people are in the household and how many meals they want covered. Delivery is on your time, too. Once you choose your meal items for the week, you select the drop-off day. There’s no grocery shopping or cooking, or stressing out over what to make — just fresh food delivered like a gift once a week.
Feast & Fettle is a no-commitment meal delivery service, meaning you pay when you order and can cancel at any time.
Don’t forget, you can get 20% off your first week of meals with code HG20 until 2/14/25.
Feast & Fettle is now delivering to Bergen, Morris, Essex, and Passaic Counties as well as newly-launched Hudson County. For more info or to become a member, visit the site.
