Climate disasters are hitting NJ harder every year. Our recovery system isn’t built for today’s reality. Nonprofits are the backbone of community resilience—first on the ground, last to leave. It’s time NJ treats them as essential infrastructure. — Keith R. Adams, #NJVOAD

In 4 days, our volunteers provided 1,001 hot meals to families & first responders in IL & IN. Tornadoes are devastating, but the community spirit we saw in Kankakee is unbreakable. To our donors & team: Thank you for turning heartbreak into hope. We’re always in your corner! ❤️
