Thank You to Our Holiday Donors
Staff members from Donovan Catholic High School with the holiday gifts the students and staff donated to one of our families. Thank you Donovan Catholic!
Sabrina and her family are former IFS guests. She is now in a position to give back by providing holiday gifts to a current family in our program. We are so proud of you Sabrina!
After providing dozens of food donations for Thanksgiving baskets to our former families, Toms River Nursery School families and staff came through again, "adopting" a current family and dropped off holiday gifts!
Ocean First Foundation
Thank you to our longtime supporters at OceanFirst Foundation. At the Trunk or Treat event they donated new winter coats to our current and former homeless families!
Patrick Romano Jr Memorial Scholarship Fund
Grateful to our partners The Patrick Romano Jr. Memorial Scholarship Fund for the donation of organizational tools to assist our homeless families in developing better skills to return to self-sufficiency.
