The Good People Fund Awarded Four Stars By Charity Navigator
We're excited to announce that Charity Navigator, the country's foremost independent watchdog that evaluates nonprofits has recently awarded the Good People Fund their highest rating, Four Stars.
The Good People Fund under the directorship of Naomi Eisenberger has been most influential in helping our Mitzvah Mall become the success it has.
Family Promise Summer Volunteers Needed This Weekend: August 14
Your role is simply to be present. Visit with the families, chat, and/or play with the children. Each visit is a little different, but everything you do is a mitzvah. Volunteer with your family or a friend.
We all have known seniors who can't or shouldn't be driving anymore.
If you can spare just one hour a month, please consider volunteering to drive one short trip for a senior or blind person through iTNNorthJersey. Please contact Jeff Wild at jwild@lowenstein.com or Sandy Cohen or sandy.cohen1@verizon.net, for more information about this life-saving organization with which Barnert is partnering!
