Our Impact

We are truly grateful to all our supporters in 2024. Thanks to your partnership, we expanded our services to Trenton, opening a satellite office that welcomes hundreds of new clients each month. We've also enhanced our employment services by partnering with employers to provide onsite training for CWS clients.

Our commitment to holistic services has deepened with increased mental health awareness initiatives for all our clients. As we close 2024, I am proud to say that CWS Jersey City has made significant strides towards our vision of a world where everyone has food, a voice, and a safe place to call home.

Looking ahead to 2025, we anticipate challenges but remain focused on safety in all its facets. Whether it's advocating for oneself at school, accessing food from a pantry, or understanding immigration status changes, safety is our priority. Our vision for 2025 is to provide culturally appropriate tools for vulnerable people to live safely and independently, while amplifying their voices to foster a sense of belonging and connection.

I hope you feel inspired to join us in supporting our work and vision for 2025.
