Macaroni KID is proud to “Go Green for Veterans,” inspired by Operation Green Light, now in its fifth year. From November 4–11, residents, businesses, and community groups are encouraged to swap one exterior light for a green bulb. A simple glow sends a powerful message: our veterans are seen, appreciated, and supported—and it’s an easy, visual way for kids to understand community gratitude.
Grab a Green Bulb Locally (Denville)
Support a local shop and order for pickup at Anchor/Ace Hardware (Rt. 46, Denville):
- Standard Green LED (A19) – Order for pickup
