“POAC provides essential support, education, and advocacy for families navigating autism. The passion and dedication of everyone involved is truly inspiring. An incredible organization making a real difference in our community.”
“I attended the rain barrel workshop this week and could not recommend it highly enough. The eco center is beautiful. Graceanne was a great teacher. She was kind, helpful, and informative. I now have the confidence to make my own rain barrels moving forward.”
“Donated alot of like new winter coats & blankets and I love the mission but WOW - so hard to find this place in Tom’s River as it’s tucked at the back of a building with no sign. I had to stop at several stores (almost was going to drop at goodwill) but finally someone told me exactly where it was. PLEASE put a sign at the very least on the front lawn or many people may donate elsewhere out of sheer frustration. Also please indicate under your address on the website that your behind AG Edwards in the rear of the building.”
“great club - awesome people - providing school scholarships and providing resources for other philanthropic initiatives including supporting Simons kitchen seaside hts”
“It’s my sons first year and we both absolutely love it!! The staff are amazing and are so helpful. I was very nervous at first to leave him there but they reassured me. He’s now always so happy to go to school. I can’t wait until my youngest son is able to come here!”
“I wanted to see in person the Eagle Scout project my godson, Danny Bacsik built. I visited the tree plant in his memory, sat and said a prayer. Wonderful organization that has and continues to help so many.”
“This organization attracts so much volunteers because of their amazing mission statement. No body does more exotic trips and events for the special needs community than centers. I mean come on international trips, Disney world, concerts, constant care and love. Everyone can learn from them!”

“Oorah is one of those organizations that you can feel the impact of the second you walk in the door. There’s a real sense of purpose — like everyone there is on a mission, but still with that warm, heimish “you matter” vibe that makes you feel comfortable right away.
What stands out most is the heart. Whether you’re dealing with staff, volunteers, or just calling with a question, you’re treated with patience and respect. No attitude, no rushing you off the phone, just genuine menschlichkeit. It’s clear they care deeply about Klal Yisroel and about helping families in a real, practical way — not just big words and nice brochures.
And honestly, the work they do is massive. Between their programming, outreach, and everything they’re involved in, you can tell this isn’t a “small side thing.” It’s organized, professional, and run with a level of integrity that’s refreshing. The place feels well-managed, and the whole experience gives you confidence that your time, support, or involvement is going to something meaningful.
Bottom line: Oorah is the kind of organization that makes you proud. Big-hearted, well-run, and truly making a difference — the kind of place you’re happy to recommend to anyone looking for real community impact with real warmth.”

“21 Plus truly puts the community 1st by taking care of our families and those who may not be able to advocate on their own behalf. The entire staff here goes above and beyond by putting the residents above all else, not only supporting and advocating for them but also everyone in need of a little extra support and love. They recently advocated to save Medicaid. Not only are many of the people in their care in need of this but countless others who rely on this program, people like my own family.
I have been to a lot of different facilities and group homes but few can compare to the care that 21 Plus provides. Each resident has their own space, their own story and is given ever opportunity to lead their own fulfilling life. Its not about caring for people, its about empowering individuals to their fullest abilities.
I am so grateful for the team and 21 Plus for what they do for everyone in their care and community as a whole.”
“Amy and Ben and Carol are amazing people who go above and beyond for the people they help. And the men and women in the food pantry thank you for your compassion listening ear and your help. Thank you for listening and your support”
“Clean and organized. Inventory changes by the hour. Worth a stop in every time your in the area, you never know what you will find! Lights of lamps, all pre tested. Mirror's seem to have high price points but are always being bought there, so if you like a mirror get it before it's gone.”
“The Childhood Leukemia Foundation truly knows how to make a difference. They recently gifted my niece a beautiful wig, and the joy it brought to her face was priceless. This organization goes above and beyond to support young cancer patients, and we can't thank them enough.”
“The Bayville Goodwill is a gem. The place is clean and spacious (compared to the Brick store). The staff is really friendly, their kindness and physical energy always brightens my visit. The best thrift store around! Thank you team!”
