In Memoriam
The Westfield Service League lost one of its beloved and devoted members, Marie Castaldo,71, of Westfield, on
on Monday, September 7, 2020. In recognition of Marie's many dedicated years of service to WSL, members planted a small garden in her loving memory. Marie was an avid gardener and also loved Christmas. She co chaired our annual Christmas sale for the past two years. A holly tree was planted to honor her love for plants and the holiday. |

2019 Grant Recipients
The Westfield Service League (WSL) awarded almost $66,000 to 40 Union County area nonprofit and service organizations for 2019. Since 1941, WSL has given $2,867,695 in grants.
“It feels wonderful to help other groups doing important work in our communities,” said Rosann LiVolsi, co-president of WSL. “This year, we were able to help more organizations that ever.”
The grants are funded through net sales proceeds from the WSL Thrift & Consignment shops, 114 Elmer Street in Westfield (the big blue house behind Starbucks).
“Thanks to our customers, donors, consigners and volunteers, we are able to raise the funds for grants that help benefit people throughout our area,” said Linda Heroux, WSL co-president.
