2017 ANNUAL REPORT
A year of change for Nutley Family Service Bureau
Nutley Family Service Bureau
We have constructed a new way of achieving our mission to meet the evolving needs of our community. Our newest challenge has been defined by moments of "breaking down" and "building up." We broke down the walls at 169 Chestnut Street, and we continue to break down the stigma of mental illness and barriers to accessing basic needs. We are building up a new facility, which will provide universal access for our patrons; and we are building up hope for the continued success of our mission and vision. The 2017 Annual Report is an opportunity for us to share highlights of the past year and to offer glimpses into 2018.

PRESENTING "THE BLACK MONK"
NFSB is pleased to present, in partnership with the Nutley Public Library, THE BLACK MONK, a movie from Bongiorno Productions.
The Black Monk
The reinterpretation of the Chekhov story provides a frame through which mental health is insightfully explored across contents of religiosity/mysticism and psychological complexity. A main theme is the issue of sanity and the struggle for existential meaning. Presentation will take place at the Nutley Library, Saturday, October 13th, 2:00 pm. Light refreshments and Q&A will follow with producers Marylou and Jerome Bongiorno. Admission is free. Non-perishable proteins are being accepted for the NFSB Food Pantry.
