NJCEDV is filled with gratitude and joy! Our team and board came together for an end of year luncheon to reflect on the challenges and triumphs of the past year. We are deeply grateful for this passionate group of leaders and are excited for all that 2025 has in store! A heartfelt thank you to our incredible supporter, the Omega Psi Phi Fraternity Nu Nu Chapter. What began as an Evening of Celebration sponsorship has grown into an ongoing tradition of support. This year, their generous donation will allow survivors to purchase food and gifts for their families. Thank you from all of us at NJCEDV!
