The NBA wrapped up their “Season of Giving” this holiday season by remembering people who are out of sight but never out of our minds: our troops. NBA employees packed boxes filled with gum, treats, coffee mix, wet wipes, and other items to make life a little more enjoyable for our men and women serving overseas.
Take volunteering to the next level and become a Project Coordinator! Project Coordinators lead Jersey Cares’ recurring volunteer opportunities and serve as a liaison between volunteers, our nonprofit partners and Jersey Cares. They inspire volunteers to “Be the Change” and provide direction during projects. It’s a fun learning opportunity in which you get to network with nonprofits and other community leaders while being supported by a cohort of other volunteer leaders. Project Coordinators commit to lead two or more projects per month for six months at a time. Please Visit our website or contact Gabby Fernandes to learn more.

Mecca Keyes returned from her 2012 vacation newly inspired and dedicated to making a difference, so she committed to become more involved socially and politically. A quick Google search led her to the Jersey Cares website and the opportunity to volunteer with Marketplace in Hillside, which is in her Newark community.
Jersey Cares is getting a new look! Next month we will be rolling out our new logo. But don't worry -- we're the same Jersey Cares and all of your favorite projects will still be waiting for you!
